Barry Keane Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 William Manchester in his book “The Death of a President” writes…. “He (undertaker Vernon Oneal) was concerned about the Britannia’s pale satin upholstery; it was immaculate now, but could easily be stained. Motioning to Orderly David Sanders, Oneal directed him to line the inside of the coffin with a sheet of plastic. Nurse Doris Nelson and Diana Bowron swooped around, wrapping the body in a second plastic sheet. Then the undertaker asked Doris to bring him a huge rubber sheath and a batch of rubber bags. Placing the sheath over Sander’s plastic lining, he carefully cut the bags to size, enveloping the President’s head in them one by one until he had made certain that there would be seven protected layers of rubber and two plastic sheets between the damaged scalp and the green satin.” This differs substantially from the various accounts of the witnesses in the morgue at Bethesda.

Ron Bulman Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 (edited) Was Manchester on LSD when he wrote this? It sounds a little nuts. I guess an interview with O'Neal was his source? Maybe He was trippin when he described it this way. I thought I remember one layer of rubber to cover the Paper Mache stuffed into the cranial cavity from a obviously different report.
