So Tuam is the tip of the iceberg, and we do hope that every child's voice is heard, because I think they've been crying for a long time. This is the start of something, so we may not get all the answers, we don't know, but it's the next stage."

8 Celebrity Deaths That Leave Us Scratching Our Heads With A Million Questions

The 2006 film Hollywoodland brought renewed interest to Reeves's mysterious death, presenting three possible scenarios: that he indeed did die by suicide, that Lemmon shot him, or that a hitman murdered him under orders from MGM executive Eddie Mannix. Speculation about Mannix's involvement arose because, according to the Daily Beast, Reeves had previously had an affair with Mannix's wife, Toni.
