Is it true that John F. Kennedy's brain was never buried, but kept and got lost in the process?

    No, I really don't think that's true, but then again, would any of us really know for sure?

    I can tell you one very interesting and factual story that is linked however. Several years ago someone dug up Lee Harvey Oswald's grave (the guy who was arrested in connection with Kennedy's murder, although never charged) and apparently swapped his skull out with another skull. This was discovered when the government dug up his grave for further investigation, in the 80s I believe, and noticed that his teeth didn't match up to his dental records. So of course that lead to a big hoopla on whether or not is was really him, blah, blah, blah, but reality was, it was just his skull that was switched out.

    Difficult to tell if it is true or not, but that has been reported in at least 3 documentaries that I have watched on the subject.

    Essentially there was some confusion and timing problems because different government agencies were involved in the investigation (or cover up) while the family and other government agencies expedited the burial process.

    The brain is rumored to be "lost" (probably purposely destroyed) when different doctors (one local, one federal) were trying to determine the cause of death.

    I think that may be partially true being that only PART of his brain would have been left (if that).

    Pun Intended.
