Page "Andrés Bonifacio" Paragraph 38

However, another account states that after his brother was shot, Bonifacio was stabbed and hacked to death.

This was allegedly done while he lay prone in a hammock in which he was carried to the site, being too weak to walk.

This version was maintained by Guillermo Masangkay, who claimed to have gotten this information from one of Macapagal's men.

Also, one account used to corroborate this version is of an alleged eyewitness, a farmer who claimed he saw five men hacking a man in a hammock.

Historian Milagros Guerrero also says Bonifacio was bayoneted, and that the brothers were left unburied.

After bones said to be Bonifacio's – including a fractured skull-were discovered in 1918, Masangkay claimed the forensic evidence supported his version of events.

Writer Adrian Cristobal notes that accounts of Bonifacio's captivity and trial state he was very weak due to his wounds being left untreated ; he thus doubts that Bonifacio was strong enough to make a last dash for freedom as Macapagal claimed.

Historian Ambeth Ocampo, who doubts the Bonifacio bones were authentic, thus also doubts the possibility of Bonifacio's death by this manner.
