The source here is the Price Exhibit from the Warren Commission. It is not
always clear to me who is being quoted in the Price exhibit, so I won't
venture to say who said so, but some Parkland Hospital person said that
JFK was put into a plastic casket.
"He left the Emergency Room, the President, at about 2 p.m. in an O'Neal
ambulance. He was put into a bronze-colored plastic casket after being
wrapped in a blanket and was taken out of the hospital."
Of course, the easiest thing in the world is to say that this person was
mistaken. You can cite source after source saying that the casket was
solid bronze. The Bronze Witnesses certainly outnumber the Plastic
Witnesses. And nobody said they saw two caskets, though nobody was asked
about that, either. And the easiest thing to say could be correct. Maybe
this person was just mistaken.
But it is a weird mistake. Who would even think that the casket could be
plastic? Did they make plastic caskets?
Now there was some plastic in the story, so perhaps somebody had a brain
fart and conflated the plastic mattress bag used to line the casket with
the casket itself. If everything was fairy dust and unicorns here, then
that would be the most likely answer, I suppose. But to actually type up
such a brain fart and submit it to the Warren Commission seems peculiar.
Surely whoever typed this up realized that he was saying that JFK was put
into a plastic casket. And by calling it a "bronze-colored plastic
casket," it doesn't leave much room for mistaking the meaning. This person
thought that JFK was put into a plastic casket.
This is JFK-related and it's part of the official evidence, if you're
wondering why I mention it, Marky Mark.
