Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid likely met their end in South America, with the most widely accepted account being that they died in a gunfight in Bolivia in 1908, after fleeing Argentina with their companion Etta Place. Historians generally believe Cassidy (Robert Leroy Parker) and Longabaugh (Harry Longabaugh, the Sundance Kid) were killed during a confrontation with Bolivian forces in or near San Vicente, and that the bodies found in a hut there were theirs, shot in the head after a brief shootout. Some later theories and books have suggested alternate fates or speculative endings, including the possibility that one or both survived or that the deaths were staged, but the Bolivia narrative remains the prevailing consensus among historians and in popular media, including the classic film depiction.
