Here is an update regarding the death of Paul Bern.
As a result of his death, several federal crimes were commited.
To avoid a scandal, MGM fabricated a story and evidence which brought the cornoner's jury to the conclusion that Bern had commited suicide because of impotence.
A friend of Paul Bern, Samual Marx arrived at the house on Easton Drive in Benedict Canyon to discover that Irving Thalberg, an Academy Award-winning American film producer was tampering with evidence at the scene.
Los Angeles District Attorney Buron Fitts was even bribed by MGM to "keep a lid" on the case.
In the 1980's, the case was reopened and investigated by Marx and every piece of available evidence was carefully scrutinized.
It was concluded that Bern did not kill himself, but was in fact murdered by his former common law wife Dorothy Millette, who committed suicide two days after Bern's body was discovered.
Unfortunately, the verdict of suicide has not been changed, even though a woman fitting the description of Dorothy Millette was seen in the vicinity of the house on the night of Bern's death.

Was it perhaps some solitary piece of evidence that Bern's ghost was seen searching for by a frightened Sharon Tate, a piece of evidence which would have cleared his name and pointed a ghostly finger at the real killer?
