What These Celebs Said Before They Died Is Simply Remarkable

Hemingway’s last words sound like they were taken out of an end of a dramatic play as they reportedly were “Goodnight, my kitten”. The writer, who had suffered from heavy drinking which had affected his mental decline, shot himself when he was only 61. The funeral was officiated by a local priest in Ketchum, who believed his death was accidental and not an intentional one. The service was attended by his family and friends and his brother wrote: “It seemed to me Ernest would have approved of it all.”

Before his tragic death, Hemingway was anonymously admitted to the Mayo Clinic to treat his addiction. He was treated with electroconvulsive therapy at least 15 times in 1960. Records show that once he was released in 1961, he had various medications and this may have led him to become depressed. Three months following his release, his wife Mary found him holding a shotgun. She had readmitted to the hospital, but he was released a few months later. Two days after his return home, on July 2nd, 1961, he shot himself with his favorite shotgun. Despite what the priest believed, as well as what the initial story was that it was accidental, he, in fact, unlocked the basement storeroom where he kept his guns and went to the upstairs foyer.
