Best Answer

Booth was shot dead in a firefight with Union cavalry troops in a barn in the Virginia countryside on 26th April 1865, after having been on the run for 10 days. The troops had been specially dispatched to hunt down Abe Lincoln's assassin and bring him to justice, but Booth refused to surrender and preferred to die in a gunfight than be taken alive.

The shot that ended his life was from Seargent Boston Corbett of the United States Cavalry.

Does Seely Booth in bones die?

He does "die" in one episode. He gets shot by a woman who was stalking him, but she was trying to shoot Bones. Booth jumps up to save her and takes the shot himself. In the following episode, Booth has a funeral, but he's not really dead. He pretends to be to catch some guy he sent underground, and the only way he could catch him is if he was dead because the guy said I'll see you at your funeral. Bones was supposed to be informed that he wasn't really dead but the person in charge of telling the people that Booth requested be told was Sweets and he didn't tell Bones. She gets mad at Booth for not telling her personally.
