RIP

The shooting death of ex Eagle Randy Meisner's wife just got even more bizarre -- a pair of cowboy boot spurs literally triggered the rifle that killed her.

As we reported ... Lana Meisner was killed while moving the case holding the rifle. Law enforcement sources now tell us there were 2 spurs in the case, and when Lana picked up the case ...the spurs fell and hit the trigger.

Former Eagles member Randy Meisner has been cleared in the bizarre shooting death of his wife.

As we reported, Lana Meisner died Sunday night from a gunshot wound ... this after she had called 911 an hour and a half earlier to report domestic violence. She claimed Randy was waiving a BB gun.

LAPD detectives have concluded she accidentally shot herself. It seems weird, because police say she was "moving a rifle that was stored inside the closet" when it accidentally went off. It's a little odd as to why she would be "moving" a rifle less than 2 hours after calling 911, reporting domestic violence.

The wife of former Eagles member Randy Meisner was shot and killed Sunday at the couple's home.

Lana Rae Meisner was shot dead in the couple's Studio City home. The police are now conducting a death investigation.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, an hour and a half before Randy called to report his wife had been shot, Lana Rae called 911 to report domestic violence at the house. She claims he was waiving a BB gun and "acting erratically."

The second call came in at 6:59 PM ... Randy told cops his wife went into another room, closed the door and he heard a gun shot. He says he went into the room and discovered she was shot in the head.

We're told at 4:45 AM Monday Randy was taken to the hospital after "acting in an altered state."

The couple has had many conflicts in the past. Randy's kids tried to get a conservatorship based on his alleged mental instability. At some point he was in an Encino hospital where he threatened to kill everyone there with an AK-47.

Nancy Reagan has died ... TMZ has learned from a close family member.

The former first lady was living in Bel Air and has been in failing health in recent years. She died from congestive heart failure at her home.

Mrs. Reagan married Ronald in 1952 and went on to became a First Lady who at first was severely criticized for her fancy taste -- particularly in china -- but went on to become beloved, along with her husband.

She'll be buried next to her husband at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley.

Nancy was a former actress who starred in B movies, before meeting her future husband.

She was fiercely loyal to Ronald and extremely protective, often getting in his ear about White House staffers she thought were less than loyal.

The knife found buried on O.J. Simpson's former estate was more than capable of inflicting the mortal wounds on Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman ... so says the man who examined the wounds of the victims.

Dr. Irwin Golden, who served as the Deputy Medical Examiner, testified in the O.J. Simpson case and performed both autopsies, tells TMZ the folding buck knife could have severely cut both victims. Nicole was brutally attacked with a deep neck wound -- 2 1/2 inches deep and 5 1/2 inches across -- and Golden says a 4" blade could have done the deed. We broke the story ... the knife in question has a 5" blade.

Sources connected with the 1994 investigation and others involved in the evaluation of the knife tell us there was always a wide belief among LAPD cops that Simpson used a buck knife.

TMZ broke the story ... a construction worker found the knife buried on the perimeter of the property in 2002, gave it to a retired LAPD cop who never turned it in, instead taking it home and putting it in his tool box. The cop claims he alerted LAPD when he got it, but they expressed no interest.

Dr. Golden cautioned if the murder weapon was a buck knife it had to be "heavy." A knife expert tells us back in '94 buck knives were made with heavy American-made steel.

The knife is being tested for fingerprints and hair. Next week it goes to the serology unit for DNA testing.

Rapper Bankroll Fresh was shot to death Friday night.

Cops say gunfire erupted outside an Atlanta recording studio. The shootout was bedlam ... more than a dozen shell casings were found. We don't know if anyone else was hit.

2 Chainz -- also from Atlanta -- tweeted about the "Hot Boy" rapper's death ... "Man I'm a fan of Bru and always will be, I'm in shock at the moment !! Senseless deaths we just got to stop it, I'm speaking up now."

So far, no suspects, but cops are on the hunt.

Bankroll was 28 years old. RIP.

Lee Reherman was juggling multiple unfinished TV projects before his death -- but we're told the shows will go on without him.

Reherman -- best known as Hawk on "American Gladiators" -- was working behind the scenes and producing two new shows -- one is a fitness-focused series called "Undercover Trainer."

We're told Reherman was producing a reality show called "Pin-Up Garage" about hot female car mechanics. Lee was working with EP Scott Satin and developing both shows for Byron Allen's Entertainment Studios.

Reherman also co-starred on "The First Family," playing a secret service agent. No word yet on what changes will have to be made -- we're told he's written into every episode for the upcoming season.

Bobbi Kristina's family and friends will gather Friday night on what would've been her 23rd birthday.

It's a difficult day made even tougher for Bobbi Kristina's family following the medical examiner releasing the autopsy report -- but BK's brother Landon Brown says the family's focus is celebrating Bobbi's life.

Landon tells us Bobbi's friends and family will be gathering at a private residence in L.A. tonight to share memories and talk about the good times. We're told Bobbi's siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles will be there but her father, Bobby Brown, will most likely not be attending.

We're told her relatives in Atlanta have a similar evening planned.

Landon released a song Friday about his sister as a way to honor her memory. He tells us he recorded it in the hospital while he was staying with Bobbi during the months she remained in a coma. Landon says he recorded it next to her bedside, hoping she'd hear the song.

Tony Dyson, the man behind the birth of 'Star Wars' character R2-D2 has died.

Sources close to Dyson tell TMZ Tony was recently at a convention in Holland and flew back to Malta where he lives. We're told Tony's girlfriend became worried when she couldn't contact him so she called the cops. When police went to Tony's house, they found his body.

Local reports say police are investigating, but at this time there's nothing suspicious about his death.

Tony was the technician behind the creation of the R2-D2 robot for 'Star Wars: A New Hope' in the '70s. Tony also did robotics work on "Superman II" with Christopher Reeve and "Dragonslayer" in 1981.

He was 68 years old.

R.I.P.

Bobbi Kristina Brown's official cause of death is eerily similar to her mother, Whitney Houston -- drowning while using a bunch of drugs, but the autopsy could not determine if there was foul play.

The Fulton County Medical Examiner's testing revealed Bobbi Kristina died due to "Immersion of face in water complicating mixed drug intoxication." The drugs found in her system were marijuana, alcohol, a cocaine-related substance called benzoylecgonine, benzodiazepines (prescription anti-anxiety meds) and morphine.

The ME could not determine if the morphine was related to heroin use.

The report lists the full cause of death as pneumonia and encephalopathy -- meaning her lungs filled with water and her brain was injured -- clearly caused by the time she spent submerged in her bathtub on January 31, 2015.

Whitney's official cause of death was drowning in her bathtub at the Beverly Hilton, complicated by cocaine use and heart disease.

Bobbi Kristina's autopsy results had been sealed until Friday morning because the Fulton County D.A. thought it would interfere with an ongoing criminal investigation into whether her boyfriend Nick Gordon was involved in her death. A judge unsealed the report after Atlanta station WXIA argued its First Amendment rights.

As for Gordon ... the ME was unable to determine if BK's death was "due to intentional or accidental causes." That could go a long way in clearing Gordon criminally.

However BK's estate has filed a $40 million wrongful death lawsuit against him -- alleging he gave her the toxic mix of drugs ... which the ME's report now clearly states played a role in her drowning.

Bobbi Kristina was eventually taken off life support and died on July 26 at a hospice in Georgia. Today would have been her 23rd birthday.

Lee Reherman's friends and family will pay their respects to the actor in true "Hawk Style" -- as in NO stuffy suits, and lots of time in the sand and his favorite bar.

Sources close to Hawk tell us his celebration of life will start on the beach and make its way to Shellback Tavern in Manhattan Beach, CA.

We're told there's a strict dress code: No suits or dark clothes and outdoor beach clothing is a must. Or as the invitation puts it, "anything that you would wear to party with Lee at the beach!"

As we reported Reherman died mysteriously earlier this week. We're told an autopsy is scheduled for Friday.

The 4-month old infant who was famously known as the "Bernie Baby" on social media ... has died from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

Oliver Jack Carter Lomas-Davis's mother Souxsie says her son died on February 25. She made the sad announcement on Facebook.

Oliver became a phenom when his mom dressed him up in a wig and glasses to look like Sen. Bernie Sanders and posted the pic online.

The senator actually got to meet his youngest (we're guessing) supporter a few weeks ago during a rally in Las Vegas.

Several good Samaritans ... including someone who appeared to be a doctor or nurse ... stopped to try to help Aubrey McClendon after his car crash -- but the fire proved to be too dangerous.

TMZ Sports obtained the 911 calls from the crash -- one caller says he actually witnessed the impact. The witnesses say McClendon's SUV swerved and crashed into the underpass and caught fire.

Another witness says people were running up to the car to try to help ... but noted the fire was "really escalating."

Eventually, the car burst into flames and another witness told 911 ... "There were people standing up there by the vehicle, which doesn't seem very smart to me."

Oklahoma City Police say suicide has NOT been ruled out in the fiery car crash that killed OKC Thunder co-owner Aubrey McClendon ... TMZ Sports has learned.

As we reported ... McClendon died when his car smashed into a bridge at an incredible high rate of speed Wednesday morning ... hours after he was indicted on a federal conspiracy charge that carries up to a 10 year prison sentence.

We spoke with OKC Police Dept Captain Paco Balderrama who told us ... cops are working on several possible theories that led to his death -- ranging from suicide to a medical episode behind the wheel.

"Anything is possible," Capt. Balderrama said ... "At this point we just don't know."

Cops say McClendon was NOT wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash -- and he made no attempt to slow down before impact.

OKC Thunder players Anthony Morrow and Andre Roberson say they're praying for the family of co-owner Aubrey McClendon ... who was killed Wednesday morning in a horrific car accident.

Aubrey McClendon -- co-owner of the OKC Thunder -- crashed his car into a bridge and killed himself in what appears to be a suicide mission ... one day after he was charged with conspiracy.
