DID WILLIAM SHATNER CHOOSE HIS TOUPEE OVER HIS WIFE?
According to The Globe, Boston Legal star William Shatner will not be happy to learn that his deceased wife Nerine’s brother is writing a tell-all book about his sister’s mysterious death in 1999, and he’s calling Shatner a liar. William Shatner’s wife Nerine was an alcoholic who was in and out of rehab, and her AA sponsor had warned Bill never to leave her alone. Shatner left her with a housekeeper one day and returned to find her on the bottom of their pool. He called 911 instead of diving in to pull her out. The brother claims that Shatner didn’t jump in the pool because he was wearing a new $25,000 toupee and didn’t want to ruin it! The former brother.-in-law insists “The normal reaction is to pull the person out of the pool and start CPR.” He’s got a point there.

Dont leave her alone. He didnt. She was with a housekeeper.Dont you think its a little much to ask someone to watch someone 24 hrs a day 7 days a week? she should have been in a hospital or had a professional caregiver. But not jumping in the pool is really messed up. How cab he not go in to try to help her. Wow!

That just sounds absurd and stupid. An interview I saw said he could tell she was already dead. and besides, realistically no person can watch a grown individual 24/7. An addict or not, She should be responsible for herself. She was not 6 years old. I believe if someone is hell bent to kill themselves eventually they will find a way to do it. Her brother sounds like a idealstic dumbass. Plus if he was so concerned – where was HE when all this was going on? Oh that’s right – he was living his life which apparently Shatner was not supposed to do because his ADULT wife was too self indulgent to help her self. Sorry. No sympathy for addicts like her.

well besides that. Addicts ALWAYS have a potential crisis and their illness drags everyone else into their drama. It gets old trying to bail them out all the time. I’m sure that is not the first time he found her in a stooper. He probably was sick of it. Can’t blame him there.

The tears were obviously fake and forced. He just looks sneaky and shady out the eyes. I think he contributed to her death, whether it was pushing her in, or not jumping in to get her.

He’s one of those guys whose ridiculous fake hair and body-bloat make him appear more womanly.
And the drowning-his-wife-thing doesn’t do his image any favors, either.

OMG! I’ve ALWAYS wondered about that! I remember hearing the 911 call. He called crying, hysterical and told the operator his wife was at the bottom of the pool. She was like “get her out NOW!? Then after he went around crying, “Nerine, My queen.” It was all so weird and his grief was so overblown.

Janet your story is bunk. Christopher Walken was spotted by the pool before Shatner got home.

From CCN.com on the incident:
…Shatner arrived at home and found Kidd at the bottom of the pool around 10 p.m. Pacific time (1 a.m. EDT), said the Los Angeles Police Department.
“(Shatner) dialed 911 and dove into the pool to render aid to his wife,” police Lt. Adam Bercovici said.
So he called 911 and then dove into the pool. He did what should have been done. Also in the CNN article, it states that when the police and paramedics got to the house, Shatner had Narine out of the pool and on the side trying to render aide.
So what is her brother talking about?

William Shatner did exactly what should be done in an emergency situation. You call for help first, then get the person out of the deep end, into the shallow end and start resuscitation. Once you start resuscitation, you are not suppose to stop until paramedics take over. Where he is located, his neighbors probably would not hear him scream for help, so if he didn’t call for help first, then help would have never came. As for William Shatner

If Shatner’s wife had drowned, what was she doing at the bottom of the pool? Bodies float, unless they are affected by a current or an undertow. Shatner told the 911 operator that his wife’s lips “were blue.” How would he know that if she was at the bottom of the pool? Great eye sight for a man who was 69 at the time.
A preliminary autopsy revealed her system had copious amounts of alcohol, and Valium. It also showed that her neck was broken, and that her body was covered in bruises. Interestingly, Nerine remains were cremated three days after the incident. No exhumation would be possible if her family wanted an investigation.
There’s something fishy here.
Sorry if I sound too suspicious, but I am a licensed P.I.

I read William Shatner’s autobiography. He didn’t jump in the pool because he noticed that the water was still, which meant that she’d been there for a while. So even if he had got her out of the pool before calling 911, she would still be dead.

Is Shatner an alcoholic, or does he have a legitimate medical problem to explain the “butterfly” redness on his face, constant watering eyes and bloated belly? I read the “butterfly” redness and puffiness are signs of Lupus? Anybody know?

Shatner killed his wife because he came home from having a state-of-the-art bespoke toupee fitted and she mocked “his” new hair. He likes to put out this jovial Mr. Harmless buffoon image, but inside he’s the same callous conquerer of worlds and lecherous seducer of green alien women he was when he was commanding the Starship Enterprise.
A toupee has been a constant in Shatner’s life for longer than any of his wives, so it’s not surprising he values his hairpiece more than any of them. Enough to kill one for her insolence as casually as if he were zapping some unknown lifeform with a blast from his phaser.

When I met him he was obviously an inferior being, so none of this surprises me.
