The story behind the death of John Lennon's mother is really very tragic. As y'all probably know, John Lennon lived with his aunt and uncle, but he and his mother Julia frequently visited each other when John discovered she didn't live very far away at all. On her way home, from seeing John one evening, a cop accidentally ran her over and Julia was killed.
Naturally John took this very hard and was reported saying "I lost my mother twice. Once as a child of five and then again at seventeen. It made me very, very bitter inside. I had just begun to re-establish a relationship with her when she was killed."
