One of the two men involved in a dispute over who owns the "sniper's perch" from which Lee Harvey Oswald fired on President John F. Kennedy has died.
An attorney for 81-year-old Aubrey Mayhew said Tuesday his client died over the weekend at a hospice care facility in Nashville, Tenn.
Caruth Byrd sued Mayhew, arguing that he inherited the window from his father, who owned the Texas School Book Depository building and removed the window shortly after Kennedy's 1963 assassination. Mayhew, who owned the building from 1970-73, said he had the true window because the elder Byrd removed the wrong one.
Paul Fourth, Mayhew's attorney, said his client did not leave behind a will. The trial in Dallas was recently delayed until April.
An attorney for Byrd did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
