Mr. Specter. What was the cause of death in your opinion?
Dr. McClelland. The cause of death, I would say, would be massive head injuries with loss of large amounts of cerebral and cerebellar tissues and massive blood loss.
Mr. Specter. Did you observe anything in the nature of a wound on his body other than that which you have already described for me?
Dr. McClelland. No.
Mr. Specter. In what position was President Kennedy maintained from the time you saw him until the pronouncement of death?
Dr. McClelland. On his back on the cart.
Mr. Specter. On his what?
Dr. McClelland. On his back on the stretcher.
Mr. Specter. Was he on the stretcher at all times?
Dr. McClelland. Yes.
