Does anyone else find the circumstances around the gun odd? I keep coming back to the fact that it was Mickey Rooney's revolver that was used. Of course, it's possible Milos had access to it since he was close to Carolyn, but I wonder how securely the gun was stored in Rooney’s home. Was it kept in a safe or someplace easy to access? It might seem minor, but this detail puzzles me.
My heart goes out to both families—knowing the weapon belonged to someone so closely related to Carolyn must add an extra layer of pain and confusion for Mickey Rooney. Losing someone is tragic enough without unanswered questions that linger. It's just so unfortunate how an affair turned into such a nightmare. I hope everyone affected has found some peace in the decades since.
Has anyone else been reflecting on the loss of Carolyn Mitchell, known to her fans and loved ones as Barbara Ann Thomason? The circumstances of her passing are just so chilling, but what really sticks with me is how young she was—only 29 years old! It's truly devastating to think about the life she had ahead of her and how it was cut short so brutally.
I can't help but wonder about the emotional toll this must have taken on her family, not to mention Mickey Rooney, despite their estrangement. It's one thing to be in the spotlight, but when personal tragedy like this strikes, it must feel incredibly isolating and overwhelming. I feel for everyone involved and affected by this loss.
I think it's important to remember Carolyn not just for how her life ended, but for her accomplishments and potential that she carried with her. In all the chaos of Hollywood's golden era, she stood out as a talented actress and a mother. I'm sending much love and strength to her family, even all these years later. Does anyone else have thoughts on this? Or insights into how her family coped with such a devastating event?
Has anyone else ever looked into the strange circumstances surrounding Barbara Ann Thomason Rooney's death? I know the official investigation pointed to Milos Milosevic and called it a murder-suicide, but there's still something unsettling about how it all went down. I mean, the timing, the affair, and the public attention—it was all so intense. Milosevic was found shot in the temple while Barbara was shot under the chin. It's so tragic to think how their lives were entangled in such chaos.
I'm also curious about the gun. Rooney owned the .38 caliber revolver used in the incident, and I've always wondered if there were any unusual details about how it got into Milosevic's hands that day. I understand their relationship was complicated, especially with Mickey being in the hospital, but I can't shake the feeling that there might be more layers here.
It must have been incredibly difficult for Mickey Rooney to deal with this while being in the public eye. The media can't have made the grieving process any easier. My heart goes out to their families—losing a loved one in such a senseless manner is unimaginable. Does anyone else think there's more to this story?
