Having said that, I'm sure there is more to this than we know....
Not really. It never happened. In Oliver Stone's film, you see Ferrie arrested and taken to the Fountainbleu Hotel to be clandestinely interrogated. This was to make Ferrie appear guilty to the audience and to also add mystery and the urgent need for secrecy in the interrogation. In reality, Ferrie heard that the evil psycho bastard Garrison was looking for him, and voluntarily went to Garrison's office to talk to him about it. Ferrie denied knowing anything about the assassination. He denied knowing Oswald & Ruby. Everything you see Ferrie talking about in that scene never ****ing happened. It was written by Oliver Stone. Also, David Ferrie died of natural causes - a cerebral aneurysm. In the film, Ferrie is murdered by members of the 'conspiracy.' By poison if I remember correctly. As an aside, I think that's Joe Pesci's worst acting performance of his career. Suitable given that it's the biggest bunch of bullshit he's ever had to deliver. Well...perhaps other than in Home Alone 2. That movie sucked too and was also pure fiction.
Oliver Stone's film is all bullshit. If you and I sat down with some beers to watch that movie, and I paused the film every time there was some bullshit to explain why it's false, it would take us four days to get through it. Seriously. But imagine all that beer.
