Lennon, choking on blood, was put in the back of a police car and taken to the hospital, but his heart stopped after 20 minutes. The man who shot Lennon, 25-year-old Mark Chapman, made no attempt to escape. He explained the murder simply - John was his double and therefore he had to get rid of him. Chapman was a big fan of Lennon's work, and just a few hours before the murder, the musician gave him an autograph. Now the mentally ill man is serving a life sentence.
