59 years ago today, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. Lee Harvey Oswald was accused of shooting and killing Kennedy. The Trump administration released thousands of documents about the assassination. The most important moments from that day are listed here. Roy Kellerman is a secret service agent. The Kennedy party would like his body to be put in a casket and left in the hospital. Killing a president is not a federal crime at the moment. Johnson ordered the body to be released but the ME refused. Dallas district attorney Henry Wade only agrees to release the body if Kennedy's private physician promises to stay with it until the last moment. Robert Kennedy, the younger brother of the president, was called by Johnson to find out what his legal options were about taking the oath of office. Doctors from the trauma room fill out forms about what they saw in the ER. There are conflicting reports from the doctors. The cerebellum had protruded from the large hole on Kennedy's head. The first doctor to enter the trauma room was Dr. James Carrico, who found a large wound in the right occiput and a small wound in the neck. The brain was on the table, but there were missing bones. Kennedy had two external wounds. The cerebral and cerebella tissue were missing. The cause of death was due to a massive head and brain injury from a gunshot wound. This statement was supported by Dr. Air Force One is arriving at a military base. Robert Kennedy and Robert McNamara were waiting for the plane. The secret service agents who carried her husband onto the plane have been requested by her to take him off the plane. She wants the secret service agent and driver to take the coffin to the hospital. Robert Kennedy got on the plane to look for his wife. He put his arm around her and said hello. I am here. The motorcade, the shooting, and aftermath are detailed in detail to RFK when they get into the ambulance. Lyndon Johnson made his first statement as President. The Kennedys enter the hospital. RFK signed the order for his brother's autopsy. They are taken to a special room on the 17th floor of the hospital for the autopsy to take place. The general stopped the team from performing the autopsy. According to McHugh, Mrs. Kennedy doesn't want an undertaker. The facilities don't exist. I think a funeral parlor is a good idea. He says it's not impossible. It's not easy. It may not be satisfactory. The brother-in-law of the president prepares the White House for the arrival of Kennedy's body and for it to be laid to rest. He covered the building with black bunting and got books and documents to make it look like it did when Lincoln died.
