JFK AUTOPSY BY ABBY HUNT, MARISSA

THOMSEN, ROSALIE DIRIENZO

John F. Kennedy was shot and killed on November 23rd 1963 while riding in an open topped

convertible in Dallas, Texas. Many conspiracies followed as to who actually

shot JFK. Some believe it was a lone gunman, others believe that there was no way it could have been only one

person that shot JFK based on the angle of the bullet wound.

Lee Harvey Oswald, however was tried and convicted as the main shooter (or only shooter). Autopsy results came back inconclusive, claiming 'difference of opinion' among members 'as to this

probability'.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

• JFK’s autopsy was carried out at Bethesda Naval Hospital on November 22-23, 1963.

• Tests to determine from what angle JFK was shot were conducted.

• Critics claim that two different bullets caused the injuries• However the Warren Commission deemed that a single

bullet caused both injuries• It was also determined that JFK was shot from above and

behind. • Critics also speculate whether or not the autopsy photos

are accurate because there was no hair on the back of JFK’s head, it was blown off when he was shot.
