00:09On the 26th of January, 2020, she boarded a chartered helicopter with her father and seven others,
00:16heading to a youth tournament near Thousand Oaks, California.
00:19The flight launched into fog and low clouds.
00:22The NTSB found the pilot's poor judgment a contributing factor.
00:27Disoriented in the clouds, he flew the aircraft into a hillside near Calabasas.
00:31All nine on board were killed.
00:33Vanessa learned of it from RIP Kobe notifications on her phone before official word came.
00:39She later sued Los Angeles County after first responders took and shared graphic photos of the remains.
00:45A federal jury sided with her, and the county settled her family's claims for $28.85 million.
00:53The word seizure.
00:54On the 2nd of January, 2009, 16-year-old Jet Travolta, the first child of actor John Travolta and Kelly
01:03Preston,
01:04was on a New Year's vacation with his family at the Old Bahama Bay Resort on Grand Bahama Island.
01:09Jet had a long history of seizures and was later confirmed by his mother to be autistic,
01:14and as a toddler, he'd been treated for the rare inflammatory disease Kawasaki syndrome.
01:20That morning, he was in the bathroom of the family's vacation home when he had a seizure, lost control, and
01:26collapsed.
01:27Police said he may have struck his head on the bathtub,
01:30though a funeral home official later said the body showed no sign of head trauma.
01:34His death certificate listed one cause, seizure, the maternity ward.
01:40Daniel Wayne Smith was 20 years old, the only adult son of model and reality star Anna Nicole Smith,
01:46when he flew to Nassau, Bahamas, in September 2006 to meet his newborn half-sister.

01:58room.
01:58In the early hours of September 10, Daniel was in the room with his mother and the infant.
02:04At some point, he was found unresponsive in the same room.
02:08Hospital staff tried to revive him, but he was pronounced dead that day.
02:12A coroner's inquest found he'd died from a methadone overdose combined with other prescription drugs and ruled it accidental.
02:20Less than five months later, Anna Nicole herself died of combined drug intoxication in a Florida hotel,
02:27ruled an accident, too.
02:28The loaded gun.

02:44Reports describe him as struggling with substance abuse and mental health issues in the time before.
02:50The gun discharged while it was in his hands.
02:52The bullet struck him, and the wound was fatal.
02:55Police ruled it an accidental, self-inflicted gunshot, not a homicide and not a suicide.
03:01The finer details, the weapon, the wound, the city, were never made public.
03:07Moore, who defined a new vision of independent American womanhood on screen, rarely spoke of it.
03:12The safety gate.
03:13It was an ordinary June evening in 2019 at the Smith family home in Georgetown, Texas,
03:19when three-year-old River Kelly Smith, son of country singer Granger Smith, was in his pajamas,
03:25having a water gun fight with his siblings after dinner.
03:28The backyard pool was protected behind a safety gate.
03:32His father turned his back for a few minutes.
03:34In that short window, River got past the gate and into the water.
03:38His sister screamed, and Granger reached him first, performing CPR on the pool deck.
03:44River had been submerged somewhere between 30 seconds and three minutes.
03:48Doctors at Dell Children's Medical Center in Austin found his brain damage was irreversible from the lack of oxygen,
03:54and he couldn't be revived.

04:24and pulled from the water with serious head injuries.

05:03There were prescription drug bottles at the scene and no suicide note.
05:07And early tabloid coverage rushed toward an overdose story.
05:11The coroner's report said otherwise.
05:14Toxicology came back negative, except for a sub-therapeutic level of hydrocodone, which played no role.
05:20His death was ruled natural, caused by a heart attack from coronary artery disease.
05:25The coroner cited his heavy smoking as a likely factor.

05:48at a Chevron station in Monrovia, California, east of Los Angeles.
05:53Paramedics responded and pronounced him dead at 9.15 p.m.
05:57There was no trauma to the body and no signs of a struggle.
06:02Toxicology later showed a lethal level of heroin,
06:04and the death was ruled an accidental overdose, with no foul play suspected.

06:36His parents wrote that they were heartbroken he had ultimately lost his battle with addiction.
06:41Months later, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner ruled the death an accident,

07:07he was on horseback near the Duck River that ran through the property.
07:12He tried to ford the river on his horse.
07:14Somewhere in that crossing, something went wrong in the water, and he drowned.
07:19A rescue team later recovered his body from the river.
07:22At that moment, Loretta was hundreds of miles away in an Illinois hospital,
07:27having collapsed from exhaustion on tour.
07:29Her husband traveled there to tell her in person that their eldest son had drowned on the ranch
07:34that symbolized everything her career had built.
07:36It was treated as an accidental drowning, with no charges.

08:00The child got into the family swimming pool.
08:02By one account, he worked loose the slats of his playpen and fell in unnoticed.
08:08He drowned.
08:09The most haunting detail.
08:12Costello had asked his wife to keep the baby awake that evening
08:15so the boy could hear his father on the radio for the first time.
08:18He got the news shortly before going on the air, and he chose to perform anyway.

08:24The death was an accident, with no charges and no investigation.
