Those who were either directly involved in the incident or were dragged into the subsequent FBI investigation are featured in the show.
‘Manhunt Deadly Games,’ an American true-crime drama, will premiere its second season in the year 2020. The 1996 Centennial Olympic Park bombing in Atlanta is the subject of the show. A true story is used to inspire the show, which includes interviews with those involved in the incident and the subsequent FBI investigation. After becoming a suspect in the investigation, Richard Jewell, an American security guard and police officer, became entangled in a web of investigation and media trial. As a journalist at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Kathy Scruggs was also a prominent figure in the aftermath of the bombing. That Jewell was a suspect in the case was the first she heard of it, and she broke the story first. Find out what happened to Kathy Scruggs by reading on.
Several decades after the Atlanta bombings and the subsequent manhunt were put to rest, Clint Eastwood made a film called Richard Jewell about the events that led up to them. Actor Olivia Wilde portrays Kathy Scruggs, a journalist who is at the center of a debate surrounding the film. In the film, many fictionalized elements are depicted that were not present in reality, according to an article in Independent Mail. As a result of this, Kathy Scruggs had already passed away before the film’s release. According to the report, Scruggs died in 2001 at the age of 42.
Kathy Scruggs’ cause of death
In the year before her death, she had been on medical leave from the AJC newspaper because of her long-term health problems. A former Anderson, South Carolina, newspaper colleague named Tony Kiss came forward with the cause of her death, which was later corroborated by the report. Acute morphine toxicity was the cause of Kathy Scruggs’ death. According to Kiss, Jewell’s death was a direct result of her involvement in the Jewell story and the subsequent litigation.
What happened to Richard Jewell’
An additional report on the Columbia Journalism School’s website reveals that Atlanta stadium security guard Richard Jewell was subjected to an agonizing 88-day media trial. When Jewell was wrongly accused of the bomb’s detonation, he was subjected to public scrutiny, which had an effect on both his personal and professional life. Following an investigation by the FBI, his name was cleared because there was no evidence that he had anything to do with the bombing.
