This is an Open Challenge to Martin Bailey, an investigative journalist and Van Gogh scholar, as well as the many art historians, art critics, museum curators, who have denied the “murder” of Vincent van Gogh as only a “myth,” and a “blasphemy.” World renowned forensic pathologists confirmed that a self-inflicted gunshot wound, without an exit wound, was dubious, if not technically impossible, for any bullet to enter the abdomen, as described by a person of interest, and to follow the unbelievable “magic bullet” ballistic course trajectory to end up where it was believed to end up, despite no evidence that a bullet was removed, and no autopsy performed [1]. Consequently, suicide is untenable. Therefore, these “deniers” of Vincent’s murder must now provide substantive, contemporaneous, evidence-based proof that Vincent van Gogh committed suicide, subject to direct (published) cross-examination, and the use of common sense “Rules of Evidence.”
