WHAT THE RECORD SUPPORTS
Assessment.
The load-bearing chain — who died, when and where, what the coroner published, what court records show about Hickerson, and what the memoir and denial record say about Hollywood introductions — is documented in primary and contemporaneous sources assembled in the full guide. Two popular escalation claims remain open or contested on that same spine: (1) that a specific Southern California dealer supplied a fatal counterfeit pill (investigative theory in reporting; uncharged as of cited sources), and (2) that a Hollywood-handler / Maxwell-type pipeline caused the death (memoir-era rival path; pattern analogy to Epstein/Weinstein is not an assertion that those figures participated). Denials are evidence to note; they do not by themselves close contested claims, and adjacency does not by itself prove them.
For chapter narrative, critical-path cards, rival theories and source apparatus, open the full guide. For life context and the relationship map, stay on the hub biography and social network.
