FILE – Dr. Cyril Wecht of Pittsburgh, a witness during the hearings to exhume the body of Mary Jo Kopechne, who testified that in his opinion the body should be exhumed, talks to reporters, Oct. 21, 1969, in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Wecht, a pathologist and attorney whose biting cynicism and controversial positions on high-profile deaths such as President John Kennedy’s 1963 assassination caught the attention of prosecutors and TV viewers alike, died Monday, May 13, 2024. He was 93. PITTSBURGH — Dr.
After reviewing the autopsy documents, discovering the president’s brain had gone missing, and viewing an amateur video of the assassination, Wecht concluded the commission’s findings that there was a single bullet involved in the attack that killed Kennedy and injured Texas Gov. John Connally was “absolute nonsense.”
Yet, somehow, Wecht and Specter overcame their differences and developed something of a friendship, with the senator coming to the pathologist’s defense during a grueling, five-year legal battle that sapped him of much of his life’s savings and ended in 2009. In the months preceding the O.J. Simpson homicide trial in 1994, Wecht was a frequent talk show guest, conjecturing on the “Today” show and “Good Morning America” about the significance of blood samples and other evidence.died in 2009, Wecht again took to the airwaves, discussing the deadly mix of drugs and sedatives that killed the King of Pop.
