A small clique within the CIA was responsible for the assassination, he confided, and he was afraid for his life and probably would have to leave the country.”Less than six months after this, the CIA operative was found dead in his Washington residence.“Less than six months later Underhill was found shot to death in his Washington apartment. The coroner ruled it suicide,” says the JFK file.What did Gary Underhill reveal?As per the JFK file, the friends whom Underhill went to described him as sober but ‘shook’.“They say he attributed the Kennedy murder to a CIA clique which was carrying on a lucrative racket in gun-running, narcotics and other contraband, and manipulating political intrigue to serve its own ends.”Also Read | US task force urges declassification of certain ‘secret’ federal recordsIt further notes that Kennedy supposedly got “wind that something was going on” and was killed before he could “blow the whistle on it”.“Although the friends had always known Underhill to be perfectly rational and objective, they at first didn’t take his account seriously. I think the main reason was, explains the husband, ‘that we couldn’t believe that the CIA could contain a corrupt element every bit as ruthless–and more efficient–as the mafia,” the file says.Was Gary Underhill’s death really a suicide?The newly released JFK files note that the suicide angle to Underhill’s death is “by no means convincing”.It says that the location of the wound, behind his ear, was ‘odd’.“His body was found by a writing collaborator, Asher Brynes of the New Republic. He had been shot behind the left ear, and an automatic pistol was under his left side. Odd, says Brynes, because Underhill was right-handed.”The file says that Brynes ruled in the possibility of a silencer being fitted inside the pistol that Underhill was killed with, which is why neighbours could not hear anything.Also Read | 10 BIG revelations in JFK files released today“Underhill obviously had been dead several days.
