What we came to know is this: One July morning in 1961, Hemingway woke up, went straight ahead to a roomful of guns, took a double-barreled shotgun and pulled its trigger. But instead of pointing it to pigeons as he usually did, he put it against his head. He died in that single blow.

What exactly made him pull the trigger, then? One of his friends, playwright Aaron Edward Hotchner, floated an idea on the possible reason behind the mental anguish of his final days. Hemingway was afraid the FBI, suspicious of his ties with Cuba after retreating there for decades, was following him.
But how that plot had set would be both interesting and perplexing to know.
