Assassinated US President John F Kennedy’s brain was stolen by his brother, according to a new book.
The brain was removed during an autopsy after JFK was shot in 1963 and stored in the National Archives.
But three years later it was found to have vanished.
Author James Swanson – in End of Days: The Assassination of John F Kennedy – blames Robert Kennedy.
He alleges JFK’s younger brother took the brain to cover up illnesses or drug use by the President.
The book alleges the brain was but instead placed in a stainless steel container with a screw top lid.
The container was stored in a file cabinet of the Secret Service before being moved to the National Archives, it claims.
Conspiracy theorists have speculated that the brain was stolen to conceal evidence that JFK was shot from the front and not from the official version that he was gunned down by Lee Harvey Oswald.
