Does anyone know if Jim Reeves was decapitated at the time of his death?

Answer 1

Maybe so
On a flight back to Nashville from Arkansas, July 31, 1964, following the negotiation of a property deal, Jim and his manager Dean Manuel reported their single engine plane had been encountering heavy rain while crossing remote hills a few miles from Nashville's Berry Field Airport.
The plane was making its approach to land at 5 p.m. when it disappeared from the radar screen.
A search involving 12 planes, 2 helicopters and a ground party of 400 found the wreckage and bodies two days later amid dense forest.
After memorial services in Nashville, his body was flown to Carthage for burial. He was brought home to Carthage in a National Guard plane furnished by the Governor of Tennessee.

Sorry, I dont know if I am thinking about the same actor but....There's actually a movie with Ben Affleck as Reeves coming out soon. But I think he was just shot and they tried to say it was a suicide.

Answer 4

I cannot find any reference to decapitation, just that he and his pilot died in a plane crash.

Answer 5

that was 42 years ago, does it matter now?

Answer 6

HIS BODY WAS NEVER FOUND
