Top 10: Last Pictures Taken
Here are some “last known photos” floating around the internet. Brief glances of the last moments of someone’s (or something’s) last moments on Earth.
10. Steve Irwin
Like no one saw this one coming. Still Steve (in his own unique way) entertained and educated millions. A fatal “accident” involving a stingray shortly after this photo was taken in 2006 Mr. Irwin was taken from us forever but his legacy is continued through his daughter Bindi.
9. Elvis Presley
The King’s untimely death in 1977 left a lot of unanswered questions. Found dead from heart problems caused from abuse of prescription drugs, Presley will always be known as the King of Rock ‘n Roll. Below is the last known photo of Elvis… I would like it noted that I did NOT make a joke about there possibly being a bucket of chicken in the front seat.
8. Wes Mantooth
This is the last known photograph of the last known remaining tiger in Indonesia. Apparently he was killed and eaten by a local villager. We hope that this was NOT the last tiger left in that region- but probably so. Since everyone else in this list had a name, I decided to name this tiger Wes…. Wes Mantooth, the world hardly knew you.
7. Adolf Hitler
Taken mere hours with the Russian army just a couple of hundred yards away, this is the last known photograph of Hitler (If you discount my claims that my H.S. shop teacher was in fact Der Fuhrer in hiding). Shortly after this photo was taken, Hitler retired to his bunker, watched his new wife- Ava die from a suicide pill and then put a gun to his own head. Most people honeymoon in Niagara.
6. Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens)
The American author and humorist was best known for his book Tom Sawyer and his love of the Mississippi river. While there are plenty of accomplished writers in the world, this guy wrote classics on par with Dickens. To know there was any sort of photo made of the man is impressive, to take into account this is the last known is more so. You are welcome.
5.The RMS Titanic
One of the most memorable tragedies in history, the sinking of the Titanic in 1912 shocked the world. The phrase “Not even God could sink her” just begged for it to happen. (I would like to go on record as saying “Not even God could give me a million dollars”) A little known fact is that out of all the passengers that died that cold night, there were nearly twice as many third class passengers that died than first and second classes combined. The reason? Locked gates to keep third class passengers form getting into the higher (and closer to the lifeboats) second class and third class berthing areas.
4. Michael Jackson
Yes, the King of Pop is dead as well. I’m sure you’ve heard something about it at some point. This is one of the few remaining “last known” photos. Honestly it’s been doctored and could have been taken after his death even… who knows?
3. Heath Ledger
The world lost one of it’s most brilliant actors with the prescription drug overdose of Heath Ledger in 2008. Not many actors can star as a gay cowboy or twisted villain and not be typecast; Ledger could. He will be sorely missed.
2. Marilyn Monroe
When an icon passes the shock wave reverberates through the decades. The loss of cultural icon Marilyn Monroe was a tragedy beyond measure. Who knows what could have been accomplished by the women had she lived? Generally I avoid pictures of Ms. Monroe… falling in love with a dead woman is pretty fruitless, even for me.
1. Abraham Lincoln
There was some controversy to this photo, as it was thought to NOT be the last picture of the assassinated president. However do some clever investigative stuff that I don’t really get (because I honestly don’t care) this is the last known picture of Abraham Lincoln.
Hitler’s wife was Eva, not Ava!
Yah a Nazi like you WOULD know something like that xD
jk…
I wated to put the bit about Eva Braun, Hitlers wife, too(and the claim that knowing this makes one a Nazi gave me quite a giggle – simple minds like taber* voted for the ´stache in the first place). But so, I´ll just add that the photo of La Monroe is absolutely gorgeous. Wow!
*Which is the danish word for “loser”. Coincidence? *cue X-files theme*
Wes Mantooth …. to bad that picture is of a tiger in captivity…see the filter hole in the water?
People will make up the dumbest Sh*t
Just about everything here is made up. Take it ot leave it. Some cool photos still.
And I believe this website only phishes for email addresses anyway, which is why I gave it one that shunts just about everything into a spam folder.
Dude, we don’t do that here. This is a serious list blog, so take your conspiracy theories and shuv em where the sun don’t shine.
Well you see Wes had his own pool installed so he could dine on pool boys. Worked great for years, until one ate him first.
Lots of things to say about this list: 1) the picture of that tiger is obviously from a zoo, 2) that is not the last picture of Irwin – his moment of death was filmed as everyone knows, 3) that is not the last picture of Lincoln — that MAY BE the last PORTRAIT that he sat for, but that’s it. That picture was taken months before his death, in February. there are many pictures of him in crowds etc from days before his death, 4) “To know there was any sort of photo made of Twain is impressive” … you do know that there are literally thousands fo photos of Twain, right? He was one of the most famous Americans alive for the last 50 years of his life, and the camera was in existence that entire time.
Finally, I can’t believe you didn’t include the last photo of John Lennon. That has to be the most eerie, because it’s an image of Lincoln autographing Catcher int he Rye for Mark David Chapman, about 8 hours before chapman returned tt his apartment and shot him.

What pitiful research went into this.
“Finally, I can’t believe you didn’t include the last photo of John Lennon. That has to be the most eerie, because it’s an image of Lincoln autographing Catcher int he Rye for Mark David Chapman, about 8 hours before chapman returned tt his apartment and shot him.”
Lincoln autographed Catcher in the Rye? I thought he died before it was in print…
Ugh. Was about to like this article until you included the Michael Jackson picture.
It would have been in better taste if you had included his ACTUAL last picture…and that would have been in horrible taste.
You’re from the South aren’t you?
It’s okay; I am, too. But unlike most of the people I seem to have come across here, I actually look up the facts before I make assumptions about people.
It’s easy: the FBI report, regular police report, and coroner’s report are all public now.
Reading them and actually paying attention will help you realize what an idiot you are being.
*rolls eyes*
cant deny the fact that Michael Jackson used to look like his own pet but i loved his music..lol
where is the photo of tupac???? he died a block later
