Thelma Todd’s mysterious demise
The revered comedy actress worked alongside big names including Buster Keaton and the Marx brothers. Her career was sadly cut short in 1935 when Todd died from carbon monoxide poisoning at the young age of 30.
The death was ruled a suicide, which didn’t make any sense to the people who knew and loved her. Many believe she was murdered by her lover Roland West. There are rumors that West admitted to Todd’s murder several years later on his deathbed.
