Did Betty Carver kill her husband?


Or did he really have a heart attack and drown in the kiddie pool?

I don't think it's ever confirmed if she did or not.

I personally don't think she did it. I remember she asked Gilbert if he thought she did it and he said no. She smiled at him as if it were some sort of relief for her to know Gilbert didn't think that way. I could be wrong, but that's my take on it.

It's a mystery line of a story. In the real world it's what gossip is made of.
There is no answer, you are not supposed to know what really happened, you are to imagine.
