Celebrity Photos That Were The Last Known To Be Taken Before They Died
John Lennon, 40, 1940-1980
The man who shot John Lennon, Mark David Chapman, is captured getting an autograph from the Beatles star. After signing the album for him, Lennon asked, "Is this all you want?" Chapman smiled and nodded in agreement. Four hours later, as Lennon was returning to his residence from a recording studio, Chapman dropped onto one knee and fired five bullets into Lennon's back from close range. Lennon was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital soon after.
