Clint Hill, Secret Service Agent Who Protected Jacqueline Kennedy, Dies at 93

Hill, known for his heroic actions during the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, passed away at his home in Belvedere, California.

Clint Hill, the Secret Service agent who famously leapt onto the presidential limousine during the 1963 assassination of John F. Kennedy, has died at the age of 93.
Hill's quick actions during the attack are credited with saving the life of First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, though he long struggled with guilt over not being able to save the president.
Born in 1932 in North Dakota, Hill joined the Secret Service in 1958 and served as part of the elite unit responsible for protecting the president and his family.
Following the assassination, Hill continued his Secret Service career, eventually becoming the agency's deputy director before retiring early in 1975 due to trauma and depression.
In later years, Hill co-authored books about his experiences, including 'Mrs. Kennedy and Me,' and worked to come to terms with the events of November 22, 1963.
