Detalles Trágicos Encontrados En El Informe De La Autopsia De Buddy Holly

Buddy Holly's career lasted only two years, but he left his mark on rock and roll. Born Charles Hardin Holley in Lubbock, Texas, he spent his youth playing music. In 1955, as a teenager, he opened for Elvis. In 1957, he released his hit song "That'll Be the Day" with his band, The Crickets, and they soon went on tour. In August of that year, they became the first white group to perform at the Apollo Theater in Harlem. In 1958, he met Maria Santiago, a receptionist in New York, whom he married shortly afterward in Texas. Sadly, Holly and The Crickets broke up soon after due to creative differences; Holly wanted to stay in New York, while his bandmates wanted to return home. Later, as a solo artist, Holly agreed to perform on the Winter Dance Party tour in the Midwest in early 1959. Maria wanted to join him, but because she was pregnant with their first child, Holly refused. The conditions on these tours were brutal, and people were getting sick from the frigid Midwestern weather. The bus had no heat and broke down frequently. When the tour reached Iowa, Holly chartered a plane to take them to Fargo, North Dakota. But because the plane was small, they had to decide who would fly and who would continue the trip by bus. In the end, Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson boarded the plane. Valens and another guitarist flipped a coin to see who would get the seat. Richardson also had the flu and convinced Waylon Jennings, then a member of Holly's band, to give up his seat. In a comment that would haunt him for the rest of his life, Jennings jokingly told Holly he hoped their plane would crash after Holly said she hoped the bus would freeze. Following a successful show at the Surf Ballroom, Holly and his bandmates went to Mason City Airport and departed before 1 a.m. The small plane crashed a few miles into the flight, killing Holly, Valens, Richardson, and the pilot. All three singers were ejected from the aircraft in the crash, and Holly's body was found 20 feet from the wreckage. Poor weather conditions and pilot error were determined to be the cause of the accident. Holly was 22 years old when he died. The autopsy report paints a gruesome picture of the crash: his skull was split open, and most of his brain tissue was missing. Both his ears were bleeding, and his face and scrotum were lacerated. He also had a crushed chest and multiple fractures in his left forearm, right elbow, thighs, and legs. His wife, Maria, learned of his death through the news and suffered a miscarriage. She refused to attend the funeral and never visited Holly's grave. She is still alive today and owns all rights to his name, image, brand, and intellectual property. In 1987, she helped enact the Buddy Holly Bill to prevent the exploitation of deceased celebrity families. In 2019, she told The Mirror that she thought about Holly "every day." Don McLean later commemorated the plane crash in his 1971 song "American Pie" as the day the music died. But Holly's music has not faded. His legacy lives on in the artists he influenced, from The Beatles to Bob Dylan and many more. Buddy Holly is buried in Lubbock, Texas.
