IIRC, his assassin’s execution was also filmed (silently) in one of the first newsreel images ever filmed. They put him in the electric chair, put a hood over his head and then turned on the juice. Must see TV, right there.

Joe saw that on TV in between FDR’s fireside chats in 1929.

That was a reenactment. There were no images taken of his execution.
