Diane McDermott cause of death
Diane McDermott was shot when Dylan was 5 years old, and her death has initially deemed an accident in February 1967.
According to the Republican-American newspaper, police in Waterbury, Conn., reopened the investigation into the woman’s murder last year after Dylan McDermott approached them with questions regarding her death.
The evidence discovered in the aftermath of Diane’s death was sufficient to press murder charges against John Sponza, who had ties to organized crime.
Sponza, on the other hand, was found dead in the trunk of a car in a Massachusetts grocery store parking lot in 1972, according to the newspaper.
