Cyril Wecht, pathologist who backed JFK conspiracy theory, dies at 93
Cyril Wecht, a pathologist and lawyer whose controversial positions on high-profile deaths such as President John F. Kennedy’s 1963 assassination caught the attention of prosecutors and TV viewers alike, died May 13 at 93.
The Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts confirmed the death but did not provide further details.
Dr. Wecht’s rise to fame began in 1964, three years after he reentered civilian life after serving a brief stint at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, Ala. At the time, he was serving as an assistant district attorney in Allegheny County and was a pathologist in a Pittsburgh hospital.
