A new book has claimed that the brother of former U.S. president John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, might have stolen his brain from the National Archives shortly after he was assassinated in November 1963.

Author James Swanson writes in his book, "End of Days: The Assassination of John F. Kennedy," that Robert Kennedy might have stolen JFK's brain to hide the extent of the late president's illnesses, or the number of medications, which he was consuming, Fox News reports.

Swanson claimed that Kennedy's brain was placed in a container and temporarily stored in a Secret Service file cabinet during his autopsy, before being put in a footlocker with other medical evidence.

However, it was discovered in October 1966 that the brain, the tissue slides and other autopsy materials were missing, and they have never been seen since, Swanson added.
