WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The wife of actor William Shatner was found dead in the swimming pool of their North Hollywood home, Los Angeles police said early on Tuesday.
A spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department said Shatner had arrived at his home at about 10 p.m. PDT on Monday night (1 a.m. ET) and found his wife, Nerine Kidd, unconscious in the swimming pool.
``He pulled her from the pool and called 911. He listened to the 911 operator's instructions and tried to perform CPR but he was unsuccessful,'' the spokesman, who identified himself as Officer Rhone, said in a telephone interview.
``The paramedics arrived at the scene and she was pronounced dead,'' he said. Rhone said there was no further information about the death and that an investigation was ongoing.
Shatner, 68, is best known for his role as Captain James T. Kirk in the 1960s ``Star Trek'' television series.
Kidd, 40, was Shatner's third wife.
