RIP David Lifton, Investigator of JFK's Autopsy

His best-selling book, Best Evidence, argued the president's body was altered

David Lifton, best-selling JFK author, died at age 83 on December 5. LIfton is best known for his 1980 best-seller Best Evidence: Disguise and Deception in the Assassination of John F. Kennedy, which used extensive interviews to make the case that President Kennedy’s body was altered before the presidential autopsy at Bethesda Naval Hospital to conceal wounds from more than one direction.

For the next 40 years, Lifton worked on a sequel to Best Evidence, a manuscript entitled Final Charade.

After Lifton’s death, his friend Steven Kossor passed this message about Lifton to a group of JFK researchers.
