Former Secret Service agent Clint Hill, best known for his actions during President John F. Kennedy’s assassination while driving through Dealy Plaza in Dallas on November 22, 1963, died Friday in California at the age of 87.
Hill was 31 years old when he was part of the Secret Service detail protecting President Kennedy as shots rang out and the President was assassinated. Hill became known as the agent who leapt onto the Presidential Lincoln as First Lady Jackie Kennedy reached onto the trunk for something later revealed to be part of Kennedy’s skull.
Hill was the last surviving person who was inside the presidential limousine that day.
The Lyndon Johnson administration convened the Warren Commission, headed by the then-Chief Justice Earl Warren, to determine whether there had been a conspiracy to kill Kennedy. The Commission determined that a lone left-wing gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald, had killed the President. Since then, many Americans have come to believe a wider conspiracy was at work to kill Kennedy, recent polls show 57% of Americans believe in a conspiracy. For his part, Hill generally refrained from commenting on any personal view of who killed Kennedy other than the official story that it was Oswald acting alone.
Hill later said about the Kennedy assassination, “I have a great deal of guilt.” more here
If he was 87 when he died in 2025, then he was likely born in 1938. 1963 – 1938 = 25 years old, not 31.
Math is hard.
Uncle AL, yeah, I noticed that, too.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ You guys don’t understand Common Core Math.

Come back tomorrow to see what we dream up then!
it never happened.
Maybe he was born on a leap year.
dial up lbj, ask him why the obviously bullet-damaged lincoln windshield was replaced @ a ford facility. or what happened to the stemmons freeway sign with the holes in it. umbrella man?, badge man? walkie-talky man? i’m not proud, or tired.
I read somewhere else that Hill was 93 so that may explain some of the math.
Read “Case Closed” by Gerald Posner. I was a huge conspiracy guy before I read this book. I’m not anymore.
posner is a lying lawyer, he regurgitated the lying warren report, like bugliosoi. try crossfire/j. marrs & best evidence/d. lifton
bugliosi – once an honorable da.
The agent I remember is the one who tried to take his post on the back of the limo, back passenger side I think,as they were starting out, and was verbally ordered to get back in the following car. His physical reaction was like WTF? Protocols were ignored, everyone knew something was wrong.
driver b. greer: …”i kept the car moving”, as cameras record it coming to almost a dead stop with brake lights on & the mofo looks right @ jfk, then guns it after the head shot. sick of gubmint lies…i am not a jfk worshipper.
Is there a Zapruder film of Clint Hill’s passing?
I read “Cased Closed” as well. Good book.
I have also been to the site. People make the “grassy knoll” sound like it is some great distance away, but it isn’t. If I were there that day and I couldn’t be in the first row against the curb, I probably would have gone up the grassy knoll. It would not have been as close, but it would have given a much longer view with a wider perspective. That white fence is maybe 30 feet away as I recall.
