how johnny ringo really died
In reality, Doc Holliday was stuck in a courtroom in Pueblo, Co, many miles from Ringoâs place of death in Turkey Creek Canyon, AZ. He may even have read about Ringoâs demise in the newspaper with interest. Certainly Ringoâs death was a strange one. Johnny Ringo died on July 14, 1882. He was found slumped by an oak tree with a bullet wound on the right-hand side of his head that was large enough to put two fingers in. He still had his pistol in his hand, pressed to his head and his rifle was propped up against a tree.
