What did Simon Girty do to go to hell?

II have been studying the life of Simon Girty I have seen some interesting things in his life. We saw the Tecumseh drama in Ohio and at the closing part Simon Girty made a very interesting move. The battle was over, the Tecumseh's Indians had lost and the dead bodies that were slain laid all over battle field and many Indians killed. They were looking for Tecumseh's body and the only one who knew Tecumseh well was Simon Girty so that asked Simon Girty which one body was Tecumseh's body. Simon starts looking at the dead bodies and coming across Tecumseh's body but he passes it up and soon points to another Indian warrior and told them that it was Tecumseh. They take that Indian's body and chopped it up while they thought it was Tecumseh's body. Simon's kindness and respect for Tecumseh had mercy that he felt justifying his deceit for showing respect to spare his dead body. They say that one time in Simon's older life he stop going to battle and refused to fight I have picked that Simon was saved at some revival meting and in the last days he was saved man. Is it possible that I have picked up on something from history that at any one can confess and come to the Lord? If Simon Girty was saved anyone can be saved Answer : From what I have read frim history I believe that Simon Girty make a turn around in his last days.
