Did the world truly understand the extent of the tragedy that unfolded on that fateful night? The autopsy of John Lennon reveals a brutal reality, a stark testament to the senseless violence that cut short the life of a musical icon.
On the evening of December 8, 1980, John Lennon, the former Beatle, was fatally shot in the archway of the Dakota, his residence in New York City. The events of that night remain etched in the collective memory of the world. As he and his wife, Yoko Ono, returned to their apartment on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, Mark David Chapman fired four shots into Lennon's back. The musician, a symbol of peace and creativity, was just 40 years old when his life was abruptly taken.
