TIL that he was also a chain smoker of over 2 packs a day. But I have never seen a picture of him with a cigarette in his hand. That is apparently why he was outside on the motel walkway when he got shot.... smoke break. And one of his friends took the pack of smokes and lighter out of his pockets and flushed the butt.
TIL I also learned that the wife of the owner of the Lorraine Motel, a woman named Lorraine, witnessed the shooting and had a heart attack and died. So when King's people tried to call for an ambulance they failed since Lorraine was also the motel's switchboard operator so they could not get an outside line.
