Overview
- OK! Magazin republishes a retrospective, citing Die neue Frau, that revisits Romy Schneider’s family tragedies and death.
- It recounts the July 5, 1981 accident in which her 14-year-old son David was injured while climbing a gate, taken to a hospital, and died despite surgery.
- The coverage notes Schneider was found dead in her Paris apartment on May 29, 1982, with the death certificate reported as listing heart failure.
- Speculation about suicide or substance use is repeated, and a separate OK! article claims an overdose as the precise cause, which conflicts with the heart-failure entry.
- The pieces emphasize Schneider’s profound grief, her devotion to her son that influenced career choices, and earlier trauma including ex-husband Harry Meyen’s 1979 suicide.
