This is from the Baltimore Sun, dated December 16, 1995, 4 days after Altgens' death:

"James W. "Ike" Altgens, 76, the photographer who documented President John F. Kennedy's assassination for the Associated Press, died Tuesday of an undisclosed cause with his wife at their Dallas home."

Died of an undisclosed cause with his wife? With his wife? 

You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to realize that does not ring true. 

It would have been one thing if they said that just he died of an undisclosed cause because then you would think that it was some illness, and the illness was undisclosed. Fair enough. That happens all the time. But, when you throw his wife in, you know that couples don't die of illnesses at the same time. And remember, they were only 73 and 76; not 93 and 96. 

If a man and his wife die at home together, you know there was some unusual cause involved, and the most likely thing is foul play.

But, the main thing is: when a man and wife die together at home at the same time, you have to disclose the cause. Non-disclosing is not an option when it involves two. Non-disclosing means cover-up.  

And that was 4 days afterwards, so why was the amount of information less than what it was earlier? Why was there no mention of carbon monoxide and the faulty furnace? 

You see, it really wasn't "undisclosed"; it was more "revised". Officialdom changed its mind about what it wanted to say about Altgens' death, and it wanted to say less.  

And what came after that? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. They never got back to us. I say it stinks.
