We now know with forensic certainty that two frontal headshots and one shot from the rear at a low angle (not from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository) killed JFK. The evidence for these conclusions comes from a new book, The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy: The Final Analysis, that I have recently published with Dr. David W. Mantik, who has a Ph.D. in physics and a medical practice extending over five decades as a radiation oncologist and who has seen the JFK autopsy skull X-rays more than anyone else.

Using a densitometer, Dr. Mantik measured the light coming through the X-rays millimeter-by-millimeter (with some measurements at a tenth-of-a-millimeter calibration). After analyzing the JFK right lateral autopsy, Dr. Mantik provided forensic proof that the third and final shot hit JFK in the right temple by the ear. The bullet furrowed a trail to the back of JFK’s head and blew out a gaping, avulsive wound in the right occipital region of JFK’s skull.
Dr. Michael Chesser, M.D., made optical density measurements of the three extant JFK autopsy skull X-rays in the National Archives, confirming Dr. Mantik’s findings. In JFK’s lateral X-ray film, Dr. Michael Chesser spotted a keyhole fracture in the temporal bone near JFK’s right ear. Such a fracture was described in “Keyhole Fracture of the Skull,” published in the December 2008 issue of the Military Medicine Radiology Corner:
A keyhole fracture has a characteristic pattern of both gunshot entrance and exit trauma. Keyhole fractures can be created by bullets penetrating the skull at an angle, by a bullet yawing off path, or by grazing the skull at a tangential trajectory without penetrating into the intracranium. These fractures exhibit a circular entrance defect and a triangular exit deficit created by bone or bullet fragments propagating from the initial point of impact on external examination or CT imaging.
Chesser referenced the 2000 Journal of Forensic Science (Figure 1) to illustrate a keyhole fracture.
In Figure 2, Dr. Chesser identified the keyhole entry wound fracture in the right lateral JFK autopsy skull X-ray (the left image is the X-ray as seen in the archives, and the right image is the enhanced X-ray produced by the House Select Committee on Assassinations).

According to the analysis of both Drs. Mantik and Chesser, Zapruder frame Z-313 shows the shot from the rear that hit JFK in the back of the head at the External Occipital Protuberance (EOP, the knob at the back of the head). This shot exited at the right front of JFK’s head, sending a stream of brain matter, bone, and blood up and to the front of JFK (Figure 3).

The shot at Z-313 pushes JFK’s head and body forward. A few frames later, at Z-330, we see JFK stabilized, with the “head flap” from the shot to the rear hanging from JFK’s scalp, not blown away. In Figure 4, we notice that JFK’s body has rocked slightly back from the impact of the shot from the rear and is still nearly upright but leaning left.

Zapruder Frame Z-331 is the frame the CIA would wish us to ignore. In Figure 5, you can see that at Z-331, JFK’s right temporal bone explodes from the impact of the bullet that hit JFK’s head obliquely, entering just above his right ear at the temporal bone. Zapruder Frame Z-331 occurs less than two seconds after the shot from the rear at Z-313.
