"Insights from Hospital Workers, Taxi Driver, and John Lennon Himself: Reflecting on His Assassination and Mental Health"

Hospital workers at Mount Sinai West, formerly known as Roosevelt Hospital, have revealed that the song "Imagine" was playing on Muzak when doctors called the time of John Lennon's death. Lennon, a former Beatle, was shot and killed outside his New York City apartment building by Mark David Chapman on December 8, 1980. The revelation is featured in the Apple TV+ documentary series "John Lennon: Murder Without a Trial." The hospital workers described the moment as a solemn and quiet one, as they spent 45 minutes trying to revive Lennon before announcing his death.
