There have always been conflicting stories about this but the one story that is the most believable is the fact that witnesses say they saw Tupac get airlifted in a helicopter on the night of 9/7/1996. Whether or not it was an actual helicopter from the hospital or a private helicopter is unknown. I won’t spend too much time on this post because I will let you decide for yourselves who may be bending the truth and who seems more believable.

Based on science and research, there are ways to tell if someone is being deceptive or not. one of these cues are the “Reverse Yes and No Head Shake.” For example; Have you ever noticed a person verbally saying “yes,” but shaking their head “no?” If what they say from their mouth doesn’t match with what their body says, they are typically lying. The reason I mention this is because, at approximately 4:05 minutes into the video of the firefighters recanting their story about bringing Tupac to UMC, you’ll notice him doing exactly this head shake.

If he is in fact telling the truth then it is possible that in their mind, they both thought it really was Tupac in the ambulance because that is what they were told. That goes with the whole body double theory that a lot of others have written about.

Is it possible that Tupac was in fact put into a helicopter but that helicopter would not be going to UMC, and the body double was in the ambulance with Mr. Knight? We’ll probably never know.

1.) Paige Hemmis is the girl in the news report who says she saw Tupac airlifted. To date she has refused to discuss what she witnessed.

2.) From the movie “Notorious”, you can hear audio of the original news report from the day following the shooting stating that Tupac was airlifted to UMC Hospital in Las Vegas.

3.) Two men (paramedics at the time of the shooting, who didn’t want their last names mentioned in the interview) that say they treated Tupac and had him in their ambulance and drove him to UMC.
