The police report declared, "After a thorough investigation by Valley Bureau detective personnel and the Los Angeles Coroner’s Office, it was determined that Mrs. Meisner’s death was accidental

The LAPD also confirmed they'd visited the Meisners' home earlier the same day, noting that at around 5:30 p.m. local time, officers responded to "a radio call of a woman asking for police assistance for a possibly intoxicated male suspect" at the home. "The officers took a domestic violence incident report and left the location," the report stated.
 
So the police are called out to the house at 5:30pm on a domestic violence call, and then (snipped from above):

"...it was determined that Mrs. Meisner’s death was accidental. Mrs. Meisner was moving a rifle that was stored inside a case in a closet. As she lifted the rifle in the case, another item within the case shifted and hit the trigger of the rifle causing it to fire and fatally injure Mrs. Meisner."

What are the odds? Seriously.

CNN had an article... something about a murder suicide in the past. I hate to say it but it sounds like they were a bit quick to clear this as an accident. IMO

says she 'accidentally' shot herself after a drunken domestic disturbance ... in a closet.

hmmm...

Lana Rae Meisner, 63, called the cops around 5:30 p.m. to report a drunken man in their Studio City house. Police took a domestic violence report and left without incident.

But Randy Meisner, 69, called police about 90 minutes later, saying his wife had been shot. His wife died in a closet after a rifle accidentally fired, hitting her in the face or head. She had tried lifting the gun from a case, but another item in the case hit the trigger and pulled it.

Randy was in another part of the house when the gun went off.

The couple had faced bizarre turmoil in the past year. A conservatorship court battle in July revealed Randy Meisner had threatened murder-suicide with an AK-47 while staying at an Encino hospital earlier that year. But he did not have a weapon with him at the time.

The case alleged the one-time Eagle had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

One of his friends, James Newton, said in the case Meisner's wife ignored the star's health problems and battles with substance abuse. She allegedly kept her husband in a "state of near-constant inebriation" while wasting his royalties. Lana Meisner stormed out of the courtroom when a judge appointed a temporary guardian for her husband.

The rock star's lawyer said the reports of mental problems were "widely overblown," and Randy told TMZ the couple was "doing great."

Newton said in a statement Monday he "continues to be concerned about Randy," and is "focused on getting him the support he needs."

Being I am naive having never shot a weapon, doesn't it take a bit of force for the trigger to go off?

Could the rifle have been jimmy-rigged inside the case to go off if the case was moved? Or this whole story is another case of a well known person gets off, free and clear?!

It sounds too suspicious to me . .

Wait, so she was responsible for her husband's addiction? smh
 
No way. This is absurd that LE isn't saying they are investigating this still. I don't believe in coincidence's. Especially 90 min. After a domestic call to the house. So many questions. I thought there would be more replying to this considering 'our' collective suspicious nature here.
 
Hi all,

I am an Eagles fan and a fan of Randy Meisner. This situation is really so, so sad for all involved. First, if you search around the internet you will find bits of information regarding the conservatorship petition filed in the CA courts last year. A temporary conservatorship for medical care was granted by a Judge in Randy's case. A petition was filed for a total financial conservatorship, but was denied. Apparently there was compelling evidence that his wife was not attending to his medical needs for various reasons, one was him needing cataract surgery which was performed under the medical conservatorship. Catherine Falk (daughter of actor, Peter Falk) advised Randy and his attorneys in an attempt to block complete conservatorship because Randy would lose all rights to his money and how it was spent. Cathherine is very involved using her organization to fight for new laws in CA and several other states to change conservatorship laws to protect people with large amounts of assets and resources from losing control over their assets.
 
In addition, I have read in 2 articles that LAPD stated there were CCTV cameras in the home and I suspect this was what provided the definitive proof that this was indeed a horrible accident. I can't provide links because I've read so many I can't remember what sites they were on, sorry mods, delete if I'm not in line with the rules.
 
I too am a huge Randy Meisner fan and had a huge crush on him back in the day...
I believe this is what Monet is alluding to ...I have followed this for years now and it's been a very dicey situation at best....

There's much more out there ...and I don't want to make it seem I am excusing the fact that Lana is dead...just pointing out that this is not a surprise to anyone who has followed this couples situation for years...I would have to dig for links ...but it's all out there if you look for it...
It breaks my heart to see that sweet, charming little hottie with the golden voice that was my favorite Eagle to have fallen so far...I only pray that he can overcome this...and if he is guilty of wrong doing, then he will of course have to pay the price..so damn sad...
 
EXCLUSIVE: Eagles founder Randy Meisner's wife was killed when pair of spurs from his cowboy boots moved in a rifle case as she lifted it, causing gun to go off

Lana Meisner died when she accidentally discharged a rifle at the Studio City, Los Angeles, home she shared with Randy Meisner

Police sources reveal how freak accident was caused by spurs from a pair of cowboy boots

She had called 911 and been visited by police just 90 minutes earlier after accusing the Eagles founder, 69, of domestic violence

Court papers reveal troubled marriage, with his adult children accusing former waitress, 63, of abusing and manipulating the bassist

Papers claim Lana refused to spend on Randy's health care and instead went on luxury cruises, had plastic surgery and a lavish new kitchen

'She would ply Randy with alcohol as he was 'easier to control' when drunk and then get him to sign important letters and documents'

Imo the contentious nature of their relationship is even more reason to keep investigating. I have not read anything about video footage. There are numerous issues in the court proceedings, not assisting an adult to seek treatment for cataract surgery is not as telling to me as the allegations of alcohol abuse and his threats of murder/suicide.

I guess I will need to see actual video footage to be convinced.

Celebrity status/artistic talent isn't an indicator of moral character. Imo

It all is to questionable to me. Loaded, her moving it, domestic call w/ possible alcohol involved just prior to, right angle for head shot, and spurs loose tumbling around that happen to hit the trigger at just the right moment to cause death..?

The news reported that the gun went off in its case...how could he possibly have done that ?
I'm waiting for more details as always.
I'm not defending or degrading anyone here ....just not surprised that something tragic has happened in this dysfunctional relationship that I've read reports on for years .
That includes police being called to the home...
 
Hi Toby Wong,

Please don't misunderstand my reasons for my previous posts, I agree with your assessment that celebrity status/artistic talent should not cloud the investigation. I only brought up the conservatorship issues to add another layer of info into this situation. There is so much more behind this story of them as a couple. There has been great concern by Randy's children long before this incident regarding the issues happening regarding his health and the use of his resources. They are the reason for the conservatorship being initiated. They did not seek to be his conservators, but were willing to turn that over to someone else appointed by the court. It's my opinion only that was done to demonstrate they are not after his money and were desperate for him to get the medical care he needed.

Regardless, justice should be done IF he is guilty of causing her harm but I hate reading comments on other sites where people are positive he is guilty because the incident is so bizarre. RIP Lana.

<snipped for focus>

It sounds very questionable. A "perfect storm" of coincidences. Stranger things have happened, and I'll reserve judgement until we know more..... but color me skeptical of that particular sequence of events.

More from the link:

"We don't have a case," an LAPD detective insisted to us. "There's going to be very little LAPD involvement. We took an accidental death investigation report. Once the coroner's done and everybody has their say, then it will be closed out."


He acknowledged that the coroner would have the final say on the cause of death, but said, "I would be surprised" if that office ended up disagreeing with police.


The domestic violence report earlier last night "is unrelated," the detective said.

I dunno, but it seems to me that the unnamed LAPD detective quoted in the article wants very badly for this to be a simple, tragic accident. It also seems to me that LAPD shouldn't be so insistent that there's no case or so certain of what the coroner will conclude. I would think the LAPD shouldn't be making up their minds about the death until after the autopsy and coroner's report.
