Did you even know that when John F. Kennedy was buried, his brains were not with him? Now, New York Post reports that it could be his own brother who is the main suspect behind the alleged brain robbery according to a new book.

It was in October 1996 when JFK's brain was revealed to have been missing after being stored in a steel container that was placed inside a file cabinet in the Secret Service section of the National Archives. His brains were taken out after an autopsy process was held at the Bethesda Naval Hospital. All these were the new revelations stated in a book entitled End of Days: The Assassination of John F. Kennedy that will be launched by November 12.

Since then, there were no follow up reports on the whereabouts of JFK's missing brain but recent allegations have been raised leading to Robert F. Kennedy, the brother of JFK, as one of the primary suspects.

Why Steal JFK's Brains?

Many theorists believe that the robbery of the brains was to hide the real position of the assassination shot of the president, opposite of what has been reported in the books. However, The Telegraph UK wrote that there are other conspiracy theorists too who say that what the brother is potentially trying to hide are the effects on the brain of the medications that JFK was overly taking.

The article further reported that there were historians who discovered some records which led to JFK's use of drugs like codeine and Demerol to treat his lower back osteoporosis. He was also connected to issues of taking a great deal of drugs to treat a sleeping and anxiety disorder.

Other Missing Body Parts of Famous Icons?

JFK's missing brain is not the first body part of a popular personality that has gone missing for a long time. The Guardian reports that in 2009, two fingers and the tooth of the astronomer Galileo were discovered. It was believed to have been taken out by his fans and treated it like sacred relics. The body parts were submitted in Florence to be kept at the Museum of the History of Science.
