Best Answer

Kennedy's original coffin was dumped in the Atlantic Ocean by the US Airforce in 1966 in order to prevent it from becoming an object of morbid curiosity. The Elgin bronze casket in which the remains of the president had been taken from Dallas to Washington, had been damaged by the Secret Service people during the process of loading or unloading. For this reason, it was replaced by a new coffin (a Marsellus mahogany casket).
