0:00
Well, you know, again, spoiler alert for
0:05
I mean, Robin Wle, and I point this out
0:07
in the in the docky series, she
0:09
literally said to me, and this is over
0:12
the phone, she said there was no coffin
0:16
there. There was no police and there was
0:19
no [ __ ] fire brigade, you know. Fire
0:22
brigade meaning fire department, you
0:27
I mean, what do you do with that? I
0:28
said, "So, the whole thing was just
0:31
a sham. It was just, you know, how easy
0:33
was that to do?" I mean, but yeah, at
0:36
any rate, if there was a coffin,
0:39
and she says there was none,
0:44
we're led to believe that that coffin
0:45
was sealed, right? Sealed. And when Bill
0:49
Sins, the door's manager, flew over from
0:51
Los Angeles, he claims he was met with a
0:54
sealed coffin and he never saw Jim's
0:56
body. They never opened the coffin, you
0:59
know. There was no autopsy. Uh the
1:03
doctor has never been found, Dr. Max
1:07
Um I found no record of this guy
1:10
practicing medicine in Paris or anywhere
1:12
else. Uh his name only appears in the
1:16
on Jim's death certificate. So,
1:19
I don't know. It's uh they say there's
1:22
no such thing as the perfect crime. And
1:25
ironically, this wasn't a crime anyway
1:27
to fake your death. Um, but I I believe
1:30
that Jim was such a prankster. He has
1:32
such a great sense of humor that I
1:34
believe he he consciously left
1:37
breadcrumbs along the breadcrumb trail,
1:41
I think he left little clues, little
1:45
um as part of the mystery for the for
1:47
the fun of it, you know, because it is
1:50
it's a grand mystery.
1:51
Yeah. If I if I go into the with that
1:54
mind that uh he that he faked it, I I'd
1:58
go from the fact that people said that
2:01
he was fat and and junky and uh uh
2:06
alcoholic, but he was on the on the last
2:08
last pictures he was very looked very
2:11
Oh yes. Yes. He had lost another
2:14
he had done this a few times over the
2:16
years where he would lose like you know
2:18
20 30 lbs maybe 40 lbs.
2:22
Um, and he did it again in Paris. He
2:24
just like you said those last photos of
2:27
he's actually very slim.
2:29
Very slim. Very, very looking very
2:31
healthy. He doesn't look like, you know,
2:33
like Jim from from the stage. Yeah.
2:35
No, not at all. And that's another uh,
2:38
you know, among the mountain of
2:41
circumstantial evidence, you know,
2:43
that's right up there at the top. And uh
2:45
I spoke with his personal doctor, his
2:47
physician from Los Angeles, Dr. Arnold
2:53
Um and this was years ago, this is
2:55
probably, you know, 12 years ago
2:57
already, 13 years ago. And um Derwin
3:01
told me that other than when Jim, you
3:03
know, fell off the back of the Chateau
3:06
Marmmont and he hurt his ribs um and his
3:10
back. He said other than that and his
3:12
drinking, he was healthy as a horse. So
3:17
that's which year was that?
3:20
Oh, I'm sorry. This was right before he
3:22
I guess Derwin last saw Jim not long
3:25
before he went to Paris
3:27
within that last 6 months or or so. Um
3:32
so once again the jury's out, you know,
3:34
until until Frank comes clean and gives
3:40
you know, we'll we'll we'll speculate
3:41
till the end of time.
3:45
me it looked like to me it looked like
3:47
like he lived a healthy life in uh in
3:52
I think though I I I think um I think he
3:55
certainly enjoyed the food even though
3:57
again as you and I pointed out he was
3:58
very slim. Yeah. You know, there were
4:00
all these rumors, oh, he's eating all
4:02
these baguettes in France and he's
4:05
gained 100 pounds, you know, and and
4:08
he's a junkie and he's a drunk and
4:10
ironically, I'm sure he loved all of
4:12
these stories because they helped
4:15
provide a cover story, you know, if you
4:18
know, if you're going to fake your death
4:20
and really commit to that, and that is
4:22
an absolute commitment. Um, you know, it
4:26
would only help your cause if people
4:29
were saying, "Oh, well, he's a junkie.
4:30
He's a he's an alcoholic. He's 50 pounds
4:33
overweight." You know, of course he
4:35
died, you know. itself.
