President Kennedy's death: a poison arrow-assisted homicide

Med Hypotheses. 2010 Oct;75(4):372-7. doi: 10.1016/j.mehy.2010.03.037.

Abstract

"President John F. Kennedy's death was a neurotoxin-assisted homicide" is the hypothesis of this study. A review of medical evidence demonstrates evidence of a neurotoxin-assisted homicide. The convergence of three independent actions, or the signature traits of a neurotoxin-assisted homicide- the emergence of neurological signs consistent with a neurotoxin-induced paralysis, the induction of a small neck wound consistent with a flechette-transported neurotoxin entry wound, and the execution of a coverup to eliminate neurotoxin evidence, supports this hypothesis. This review suggests, JFK's death had all the signature traits of a neurotoxin-assisted homicide.
