After a hair drier supposedly fell on her head and a doctor was called
for her, the doctor noted that apart from her current injuries there
were a number of old bruises on various parts of her body. Detectives
investigating the injuries, however, reported nothing to indicate it
was anything other than an accident. Rumors continued but were never
confirmed that she was romantically involved with a gangster who had
beaten her. Previous beatings, it was alleged, had caused the old
bruises.
