Whatever version you've heard, someone will tell you it was another one!
I like the story that his bodyguard was present in the Presidential Box, but was too busy watching the show to watch the door. (It is known that the theatre company had put on a particularly good performance that night.) But there is not much evidence for that one.
I believe the true version is that there was no bodyguard on duty. The theatre policeman had simply been told to keep an eye on the Presidential Box, but had gone out for a drink.
