How did Bessie smith die?

Answer 1

Bessie Coleman's age is contested, because there are two possible dates of birth for her: 1892 and 1896. In either case, she died young (either 30 or 34); her death occurred in April 1926, when her plane crashed during a flying exhibition.

Answer 2

bessie smith died in a car accident involving her partner driving her old packard with himself and her in it and they hit the side of a truck

********************

The physician that arrived at the scene of the accident gave a recorded interview to Chris Albertson. At one time was on Chris had this up on his webiste. I believe the doctor's name was Dr. Smith? Anyway, he described Bessie as in shock by the time he arrived very shortly after the accident happened. She had a "side swipe injury" where a person would have their elbow sticking out of a rolled down window in a car and striking something at high speed. In this case, the truck.

According to Bessie's neice, she and Richard Morgan were having an argument and he turned to say something to her and the truck was parked on the side of the road. When Richard turned back it was too late. It sheared the roof off of her Packard to which her niece she never traveled in her own car until that year.

Dr. Smith said it was pretty much too late at that time anyway and he was sure there was blunt trauma to the abdomen and that she lost a lot of blood due to her arm being nearly cut completely off. She would have had to have had it amputated if she survived. The story about not receiving treatment in a white hospital Dr. Smith says is false because the ambulance drivers in those days were very well aware of segregation and would have taken her straight to a hospital for colored. Basically she died from trauma, loss of blood and shock.

According to Bessie's niece, Bessie and Richard were not partners or lovers. She was still married to Jack and Richard was described as a "pimp" just hanging around Bessie to get what he could off of her.

Answer 3

She was in a car accident near Clarksdale Mississippi at night just out of Memphis on hwy 61 in the delta with her friend Richard Morgan. There are a lot of rumors and myths about it but basically she died from internal injuries and shock. Her right arm was almost severed off. They hit the back of a truck that had pulled off the road to check it's tires. The truck had just started to pull back on the road when Richard hit it. Bessie had her arm hanging out of the window and it hit the tailgate of the truck. It sheared the top of Bessie's Packard off and flipped the car over.
