Jamaican Reggae legend Bob Marley, whose death at the age of 36, left millions of his fans in deep sorrow at the time, did not die due to skin cancer, but he was infected with cancer infected virus by the CIA. Yes, you read it right, at least according to Bill Oxley, a 79-year-old ex-CIA operative, who handled Bob Marley's killing. After a long struggle with cancer, Bob Marley died on May 11, 1981.

According to recent reports, Oxley visited Bob at his Blue Mountain retreat, in the disguise of a New York Times photographer.

In a shocking confession, Oxley said that the CIA ordered the Jamaican's killing. “I was a patriot and I believed in the CIA, and I didn’t question the motivation of the CIA - I have always understood that sometimes sacrifices have to be made for the greater good,” he was quoted as saying by the Daily Star.

Oxley admitted to killing Bob, along with 17 others for the American agency between 1974 and 1985. Narrating the story behind the death of the legend, he said that he had gifted Bob a pair of Converse All Stars shoe, in which he had planted a nail that was marred with dangerous cancer viruses and bacteria. The moment the nail pierced into his skin marked the end of his life, he added.

The former CIA operative went on to say that Bob was sent to London, Paris and several cities in the United States for medical treatment that would ensure that his health would deteriorate faster.
