A secret service agent in the United States who jumped to John F. Kennedy Limozine died when he was fire in Dallas, and was filmed in famous pictures of one of the most dramatic events in the history of the United States, at the age of 93.
Later, Clint Hill became a selling author, but he was haunted for decades of guilt due to Kennedy’s assassination.
Hill died at his home in California on Friday, according to a statement issued by the advertising expert.
On November 22, 1963, he was appointed to protect the wife of President, Jacqueline Kennedy.
Hill was riding a car behind the Kennedy Limozine when the first shot came out.
He immediately rushed to the spouses and began to climb to the back of Lamozine and continued to shoot.
Hill’s behavior was taken during the assassination of Zapruder – a hobby video clip that presented one of the best recordings in filming.
Hill, originally from North Dakota, served in the army before joining the secret service in 1958.
He won a prize for his actions in Dallas, and in the end Ross to become the assistant director of the Secret Service.
However, the shock he suffered during the assassination led him to retire early in the agency in 1975, at the age of 43.
He became convinced that he could save Kennedy’s life and shortly after his retirement, he told CBS 60 minutes that he felt responsible.
“If you have interacted about five tenths faster second, and maybe faster, I will not be here today,” Hill said.
“Do you mean that you will get there and will take the shot?” Mike Wallace interview request.
“Yes, sir … that was fine with me,” Hill answered.
“I have a great deal of guilt about it,” he said. “If you had turned in a different direction, I had made it. It’s my fault.”
With the passage of years, the previous secret service agent later told a documentary film, which he returned to Dallas, in the end to the conclusion that he could not save Kennedy’s life.
Hill met journalist Lisa Macobin in 2009 and cooperated in selling notes, Mrs. Kennedy and me.
It was the first of a series of books and Hill and Macoben signed in love. The couple married in 2021.
A statement issued by his publisher said that Hill died at home with his wife next to him. No cause of death was given.
