The Los Angeles Sheriff's Department said it's getting closer to solving the 1981 death of actress Natalie Wood.

The Los Angeles Sheriff's Department said it's getting closer to solving the mysterious 1981 death of Academy Award-nominated actress Natalie Wood.
It was revealed last week that Wood's husband, actor Robert Wagner, is a person of interest.
The case, originally ruled as an accidental drowning, was reopened in 2011.

At a press conference held at the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department on Monday, Lieutenant John Corina said detectives were getting closer to finding the truth behind Natalie Wood's mysterious death in 1981, according to Deadline.

In November 1981, the Oscar-nominated actress died on a yacht trip off the coast of Catalina Island, California. She was found floating in the water, wearing a red down jacket and a flannel nightgown.

Wood was with her husband, actor Robert Wagner, Captain Dennis Davern, and actor Christopher Walken. After two weeks of investigation, her death was ruled an accident.

Last week, it was revealed that Wagner the last person to see Wood alive — was a person of interest in the case. According to witnesses and Wagner's 2008 memoir, he and Wood had a fight the night before she was found dead.

In 2011, Wood's case was re-opened. In 2012, the Los Angeles Coroner's Office amended Wood's death certificate, changing her cause of death from accidental drowning to "drowning and other undetermined factors."
