Diane Linkletter, the youngest child and daughter of American media figure Art Linkletter, passed away under tragic circumstances on October 4, 1969. For years, rumors have circulated pertaining to the nature of her death. While officially, her death was ruled a suicide, many people have been led to believe that her death was somehow tied to an LSD trip gone awry.

It's not uncommon for family members of an individual who committed suicide to try and attempt to convince others that their deaths were less deliberate than they actually were. Denial is a very common thing for family members of suicide victims to go through. No one wants to believe that their child or loved one actually wanted to die. There is a great deal of stigma attached to suicide. So, it's not difficult to understand why family members would try and obscure such matters to be a bit more socially acceptable.

Art Linkletter was very devastated by his daughter's death and went on to become one of the most outspoken critics of the counterculture movement. Pretty much every opportunity that he had, he would speak out against drug use.

Even before an autopsy was performed, Art Linkletter had speculated when talking to the media that his daughter had taken the psychedelic drug LSD the evening before her death. But when Diane's autopsy results came back and it was determined that she didn't show any signs of having any drugs in her system, he quickly changed his tune. Instead of believing that she had been driven to suicide by the direct effects of the mind-altering drug, he now insisted that it was actually an LSD flashback that she had months earlier that prompted her to take her own life.
