Cyril Wecht at the Sixth Floor Museum

In 2017, the late coroner conducted a pitiless autopsy of the "lone gunman" story and declared it very dead.

In 2017, renowned forensic pathologist Cyril Wecht was invited to make the case for a JFK Assassination conspiracy to an audience at the Sixth Floor Museum in Dallas, the first time a Warren Commission critic was given such a platform. At the age of 86, Wecht gave a fiery address on the weakness and duplicity of the forensic evidence examined by the Warren Commission. In a lively question and answer segment he also spoke briefly about the forensic evidence in Robert Kennedy’s assassination and the advice he gave Dr. Thomas Noguchi in the midst of RFK’s autopsy. A repeated theme of Wecht’s address was the vital importance of holding the White House to account for the full release of assassination records in 2017 in accordance with the JFK Records Act. Cyril Wecht did not live to see the White House fulfill its duty under the law, but the fight for full disclosure continues.
