"...Marvin Gaye’s brother, Frankie, who lived next door, and who held the legendary singer during his final minutes, later wrote in his memoir that Marvin Gaye’s final, disturbing statement was, “I got what I wanted….I couldn’t do it myself, so I made him do it.”

I am not a doctor by any means … but I'd venture to guess that someone who's been shot in the heart, lungs and liver isn't saying a damn thing.

We all thank you for NOT being a doctor.  Stick to being a leader of undervalued labor.

 

Where do you come up with these absolutes?  

 

But... I gotta admit... You're good at the rhetoric.

This isn't Hollywood.  Getting shot in the heart, alone, would keep someone from their last minute soliloquy.

LoL... 

 

Fair enough... You're calling Marvin's brother, Frankie, a liar.  Just come out and say it.

If he said that, then yes.

"Doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo

 

The police in New York City
They chased a boy right through the park
And in a case of mistaken identity
The put a bullet through his heart..."

 

MAYBE brother Frankie was there in 4 minutes? Maybe the shot wasn't totally taken to the heart... I guess @Gugny lives in a land of absolutes where everyone who is shot in the heart, dies instantly.

 

Liver... Internal gut wounds aren't absolute... Actually, kinda slow.

"The brain has about 4 minutes of oxygen, so no, a heart shot isn't instant death*. In fact, depending where the heart is injured, it's remotely possible to survive. That would only be if sophicated medical care was immediately at hand.


*I have sad personal knowledge of this. My grandfather shot himself in the heart. I was the first to reach him. He was able to say my name before he died."

 

Glad Sir Absolute Gugny lives in a land where everything fits his rhetoric.

Again.  Heart, liver and lung.

 

My uneducated guess is that the only thing coming out of his mouth was a lot of frothy blood.  Not last-minute sentiments.

You seem to know alot about this, someone should notify the police that maybe it wasn't his father that pulled the trigger, but instead a disgruntled Mets fan?....
