Celebs Whose Deaths Remain Mysterious

At the time of her death, actress and Native American activist Misty Upham was an up-and-coming star who'd appeared in movies such as August: Osage County and Django Unchained. After she'd been missing for 11 days, Upham's body was discovered in Auburn, Wash., at the bottom of a ravine, in October 2014.

According to The Guardian, the coroner reported that Upham died as the result of blunt force trauma to the head and torso. However, a medical examiner was reportedly unable to confirm whether Upham's death was the result of suicide, accident, or foul play. Her blood alcohol content was an incredibly high .33, and she'd reportedly struggling with mental health issues in the months leading up to her death. Family and friends also claimed police did not taken the search for her seriously, potentially ruining the chances of finding her before she died.  

Upham's friend, actress Juliette Lewis, tweeted that she believed police needed to conduct a thorough murder investigation because Upham allegedly had "known enemies" as a result of her activism. To date, no such investigation has occurred.
