Wondering about the rear of the head
« on: January 19, 2026, 11:57:43 PM »
Just wondering.  An argument continues about the condition of the rear of JFK’s head after the shooting.  Some witnesses said it was blown out, with a large fist sized hole.  These witnesses include Clint Hill, multiple nurses and ER physicians at Parkland Hospital, and the mortician who prepped the body for burial.  Others dispute this, such as the autopsy pathologists.  The autopsy photos show no such wound on the only photo of the rear of the head we have.  Did anyone who saw the rear of JFK’s head after the shooting describe it contemporaneously as “intact”, “whole”, “undamaged”, “normal”, “pristine” or “untouched” or similar words?

Well, you, me and everyone else has wondered the same thing.

There is a guy named Pat Speer who wrote a lot about this.

Many people certainly described the face as appearing untouched. The "pristine" autopsy photos pretty clearly have the flap pulled back into place. If anyone actually described the rear of the head as intact, he needs to have his own head examined.

(Deleted the photo I had previously described as "hauntingly creepy" because it is, in fact, hauntingly creepy. If there is popular outcry to repost it - probably not, huh? - I shall do so.)

Pat Speer's extensive work on the head wounds begins at Chapter 13 and continues through Chapter 15: https://www.patspeer.com/chapter13solvingthegreatheadwoundmyster. Like the Prayer Man site, Pat's site is a goldmine even if one disagrees with him.
