Stanciu was the boyfriend of Beverly Aadland, notorious for her affair with Errol Flynn. She dated actor Errol Flynn in the last two years of his life. His autobiography, My Wicked, Wicked Ways, contains the dedication "To a small companion," which is universally taken to refer to Beverly Aadland.
Stanciu was obsessed with Aadland, and broke down the door of the apartment she shared with her mother at 1780 El Cerrito Place, Hollywood. He struggled with Beverly and two versions came out--one that he was playing Russian Roulette and shot himself. The other that they struggled over the gun and he was killed. No charges were filed.
