I saw his spleen on display in the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology museum. While one can survive without one's spleen, the surgery to remove it in 1865 was highly dangerous.

I haven't heard of Booth's spleen being on display, but have heard of and seen photos of his neck vertebrae (section where he was shot), that is supposed to be held (but not on display) by the same museum.

Back in 1993, an anthropologist discovered Lewis Powell's skull in a drawer and it was returned to a family member for burial in Geneva, Florida.

A fellow researcher friend of mine, Mike Kauffman has been researching the Lincoln Assassination for over 30 years. In 2004 he published "American Brutus: John Wilkes Booth and the Lincoln Conspiracies." I highly recommend it for those interested in the topic.
