At 11:21 am Sunday, November 24 1963, while he was handcuffed to Detective Leavelle and as he was
about to be taken to the Dallas County Jail, Oswald was shot and fatally wounded before live
television cameras in the basement of Dallas Police Headquarters by Jack Ruby, a Dallas nightclub
operator who said, when accused, he had been distraught over the Kennedy assassination. He was
thought to have said, "You killed the President, you rat!"

Unconscious, Oswald was put into an ambulance and rushed to Parkland Memorial Hospital, the same
hospital where JFK had died two days earlier. Doctors operated on Oswald, but Ruby's single bullet
had severed major abdominal blood vessels, and the doctors were unable to repair the massive trauma.
Oswald was pronounced dead at 1:07 pm. After a full autopsy, Oswald's body was returned to his
family. Oswald's grave is in Rose Hill Memorial Burial Park in Fort Worth. The original tombstone,
which included Oswald's full name and dates of birth and death, was stolen; today, the grave is
marked by a stone which reads simply, Oswald. Because Oswald did not live to stand trial for the
murder of President Kennedy, he is still legally presumed not guilty. -- http://www.jacanaent.com/
