In addition to two cracked vertebrae and high levels of alcohol, Nerine Shatner's face and neck were bruised. She was naked when her body was found in the pool. She was known to drink a combination of Gatorade and vodka. In his 2018 memoir "Live Long And ... What I Learned Along the Way," Shatner wrote more about her death: "This was the type of pain that makes you think either I'm simply going to die or I'm going to kill myself. The intensity was so strong that for a time I told myself that rather than living with that pain, it is much better to feel nothing."
Shatner went on to honor his wife's memory, establishing the Nerine Shatner Foundation to help other women manage sobriety, as the star revealed to The Irish Times in 2021. At that time Shatner said, "Women come up to me and say: 'You saved my life.' But not me; it was Nerine. She did that." Though never a suspect, Shatner was questioned in the drowning death of his wife, but was able to produce adequate supporting evidence of his whereabouts when Nerine Shatner's drowning death took place.
