In 1964, Smith won the Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of the assassination of US President John F. Kennedy. He was the first to use the term "grassy knoll" regarding the assassination.[1]

Death

Merriman Smith was found dead at his home in Washington from a self-inflicted gunshot wound on 13th April, 1970.[1] Wikipedia reported as of 2017, without citation, that he was "despondent over the death of his son in the Vietnam War."[2]

Grassy knoll
The assassination of US President John F. Kennedy was the seminal deep political event of modern times, perhaps even more than 9-11. Both were done by the same group. Subsequently the group assassinated RFK, MLK and many others to try to contain the truth.
