Infamous pathologist who argued more than one shooter killed JFK dies at 93
Cyril Wecht, a pathologist and attorney who is best known for arguing more than one person was involved in President John F Kennedy’s 1963 assassination, died on Monday at 93.
Wecht’s death was announced by the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts, which did not disclose a cause or place of death, saying only that he “passed away peacefully.”
Wecht’s almost meteoric rise to fame began in 1964, three years after he reentered civilian life after serving a brief stint at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, Alabama. At the time, Wecht was serving as an assistant district attorney in Allegheny County and a pathologist in a Pittsburgh hospital.
The request came from a, acting alone, assassinated Kennedy.
