When John Lennon was fatally shot in 1980 outside an apartment building, a concierge rushed to his aid. The man, whose name is Jay Hastings, was wearing a white button-down shirt that became soaked with Lennon's blood.
Now, Hastings' shirt has been auctioned off for $40,819, according to WOGL.
Originally, it was expected to go for about $9,000.
The auction also included a signed copy of the album “Double Fantasy,” along with a typed letter of thanks from Yoko Ono to the apartment staff, a Thanksgiving card signed by Lennon and Ono and a Rolling Stones article with Hastings from 1981.
