The morning that Vincent was shot, he placed a large order of painting supplies.
Mysteriously, the gun that shot him was nowhere to be found and was not recovered.
The authorities or anyone else who accepted the suicide narrative have never considered how a man who had trouble feeding himself could afford a gun.
And finally… a deathbed confession in the early 1960s by the last of 3 brothers who admitted that Vincent was shot accidentally by him and his siblings during a favorite pass time of their’s, of teasing and torturing Vincent when they were teenagers.
As a side note: Vincent didn’t cut off his ear and give it to a prostitute either. There is an actual police report filed by Paul Gaughan, who was the only witness as well as a master swordsman… Besides being a wonderful painter and a world-class arsehole, it is considered a known conclusion by those who have studied the police report that Gaughan undoubtedly cut off Vincent’s ear.

All I can say is WOW!

I know.
All this information arrives separately. I’m still amazed that Gaughan’s story of Van Gogh cutting off his ear to give to some unknown prostitute was believed without doubt by so many for so long. Van Gogh was too drunk to remember details and probably believed it himself.
