Several eyewitnesses at Parkland Memorial Hospital have shared over the years that Dr. Rose was involved in a heated argument and physical struggle with Secret Service agents over the president's remains since, according to state law, the president's body legally could not leave the state without an autopsy having been performed. When asked about this during his 2005 oral history, Rose denied that any confrontation took place. Dr. Rose passed away on May 1, 2012. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
