“Then it had to be from some kind of explosive effect.” Forensic Pathologist Cyril Wecht

Cyril Wecht is not intimidated by power. He doesn’t shy away from taking unpopular positions or challenging official narratives.

While other public figures often calculate their statements and tailor their principles for personal gain, Wecht asks himself one thing: “What is the evidence telling me?”

In his more than six decades as a forensic pathologist, the now 90-year-old Wecht has been asked to weigh in on some of the most notorious deaths of our time. Among them: John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Elvis Presley, Sharon Tate, Nicole Brown Simpson, Vince Foster, Sunny von Bulow, Mary Jo Kopecne, JonBenet Ramsey, and Kurt Cobain.

Wecht appeared on the cover of The New York Times in 1972, revealing that President Kennedy’s brain had gone missing. He later testified before the House Select Committee on Assassinations and advised Oliver Stone on the film JFK. He is famous for his contention that the three shots Lee Harvey Oswald is alleged to have fired from the Texas School Book Depository could not have been discharged in the window of time available.

He lent his expertise to the documentary Soaked in Bleach, which alleges that Kurt Cobain did not commit suicide but was murdered, and his work on concussions was portrayed in the feature film Concussion, starring Will Smith.

When he is not working on high-profile, controversial cases, Wecht — who is also a lawyer, university professor, and medical-legal forensic science consultant — is busy performing and supervising autopsies (more than 61,000 over his career). He has served in the most distinguished positions in his field (currently clinical professor at the University of Pittsburgh and formerly president of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences and the American College of Legal Medicine). And he has written several books — notably, Cause of Death, Grave Secrets, and The Life and Deaths of Cyril Wecht: Memoirs of America’s Most Controversial Forensic Pathologist.

Bob McIlvaine, Bobby’s father, learned the details of his son’s death only in 2006 or 2007, when he met for the first time with the doctor who performed the examination of Bobby’s body. The wounds described by the doctor indicated that Bobby had been hit by flying glass from some kind of massive blast. Most of Bobby’s head and face down to his lower jaw bone were missing, as was his right arm. He also had lacerations all over his chest from flying glass as well as fractures in his ankles and post-mortem burns.

When Wecht reviewed the Bobby McIlvaine documents on camera and learned that Bobby had apparently died as he was entering the lobby around the time the North Tower was struck, he had no trouble drawing a conclusion: “Then it had to be from some kind of explosive effect.”

Their loved ones were murdered on 9/11. Twenty years later, they are still fighting for the truth.
