Meriwether Lewis Death Decoded And The Autopsy Report

Meriwether Lewis was one of the leaders of the Lewis and Clark expedition. He was the governor of the Louisiana Territory. Lewis was one of Thomas Jefferson’s most trusted friends to get his money from the government and to deliver something to Thomas Jefferson. During the journey ,Jefferson stopped at Robert Grinder’s inn to rest while James Neely apparently went to look for the missing horses. There, Meriwether Lewis was murdered by a conspiracy. According to the Autopsy Report, Lewis was shot through the chest and the back of his head. There were 2 horse guns used. It is very unlikely that Lewis shot himself 2 times because according to the video: Lewis’s death Decoded and the Autopsy Report, only one shot would have incapacitated

There were people who had motive to kill Lewis. Basing off of the video: Lewis’s Death Decoded, it could have been General Wilkinson out of jealousy, Aaron Burr, who was allies with Wilkinson and was released from the position of Vice President because of treason, Robert Grinder for money or James Neely, who was working under General Wilkinson. According to the video Lewis’s Death Decoded. Neely lied about where he was the day Lewis was murdered. He said he was going to look for the lost horses but he was really at court.

If Lewis tried to commit suicide, then why would he say something like “Oh madam! Give me some water, and heal my wounds” if he tried to kill himself? In the video Lewis’s Death Decoded, a doctor had said “that he died by the hands of an assassin”. From the document Cold Case Files: Crime Report: Major James Neely’s Letter Thomas Jefferson 18 October, 1809. James Neely was writing to Thomas Jefferson about Lewis’s death. “ After crossing Tennessee River where we encamped we lost two of our horses. I remained behind to look for them and the governor went on.” According to the video Lewis’s Death Decoded. Neely lied about where he was the day Lewis was murdered. He said he was going to look for the lost horses but he was really at court. So why would James Neely lie? Unless he was doing something else after court. According to Evidence for Lewis Murder or Suicide: Captain Gilbert Russell Gives New Information About the Death of Governor Lewis,” About three months after Lewis' death, Captain Russell wrote two letters to Thomas Jefferson. In the first letter, dated January 4, 1810, Russell wrote briefly about Lewis' unstable condition
