An Unbelievable Scene
Hundreds of bullet holes were left after the shootout, which many observers note to have been an execution, rather than a confrontation. A coroner later found 17 bullets in Clyde’s body, and 26 in Bonnie’s. While these are the official numbers, many more went flying that day. The couple’s bodies couldn’t even be embalmed properly, as their wounds were so severe.
In some bizarre universal intervention, as it turns out, the undertaker’s assistance had once been the victim of kidnapping by the couple. He later talked about being offered $5 by the couple in exchange for being well taken care in the ceremony of their deaths.
