ToMacco that was a good one very Homerish!
On April 13, 1866, the couple welcomed their first of many children, Robert LeRoy Parker, who would later become known as “Butch Cassidy.”
Harry Longabaugh at the age of 15 was caught stealing a horse and was sentenced to two years imprisonment at the jail in Sundance, Wyoming. He would be known afterwards as the Sundance Kid.

A little exerpt from a book
"Legend had it that Butch and Sundance were killed in a shootout with the Bolivian cavalry at San Vicente, Bolivia, in 1908; however, this story was not reported in the United States until 1930, well after the fact. Historical and archaeological research has shown that two American outlaws were indeed killed at San Vicente, but whether they were Butch and Sundance is not certain. A 1992 exhumation showed that one of the outlaws in question bore an unquestionable physical resemblance to Sundance, but the other body was not in good enough condition to compare it to Cassidy. Etta Place’s fate is also unknown; for the last century, countless stories have circulated concerning the true fate of each of the three outlaws. The most persistent of these rumors is that Butch Cassidy lived until 1937 in Spokane, Washington, under the alias William T. Phillips. In his 1977 book In Search of Butch Cassidy, historian Larry Pointer presented convincing evidence, including photographic and graphological analysis, in arguing that Phillips was really Cassidy.
Only three people probably knew the truth and they are all long gone now...
Sundance was never heard of again after that shootout. His letters to his sister stopped.
Butch's sister said he died of pneumonia long after the shootout. She could be a crazy woman overtaken by grief, but it brings up a lot of controversy.

Your question is unanswered because nobody knows the truth. It's kind of like Anastasia. Thee ws a shadow of a doubt so they searched for her far and wide. Even though they did those blood tests on her body compared to the rest of the family and it was in fact her.

I don't know what question you are answering, Lauren, but my question was asking what actually happened to the man that was assumed to be Butch. Which is perfectly well known seeing as there were about 100 witnesses. The mystery is whether it was Butch or not.
There is another Anastasia pretender who has just cropped up, actually.

What happened afterwards is the central myth surrounding Cassidy. Some claim he and Sundance were killed, others emphatically believe that another pair of outlaws were killed by the troops and that Cassidy and Longabaugh purposefully let it be known they had been killed. The oft-told stories relate that the pair returned to the West and lived out their lives under alias names and identities. Like many other Western figures, Butch Cassidy has become larger than life. His name still generates fond recollections from many Utah old-timers who love to tell stories about him. Whether he died in South America or died of old age under one of the several identities that are attributed to him may never be fully proven.
Unless a diary or actual child of the two came forth this will be one of those unsolved mysteries...rest in peace Butch and Sundance.
You were NOT answering my question, Lauren! What is wrong with you!?
I asked- and I have REPEATED what I asked- what happen to the man who was ASSUMED to be Butch Cassidy! As in the one who died at the shootout. And like I say, over a hundred people saw that man die!
To make it clear- at the end of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, the two of them charge out towards the gynmen and are shot down. This is the film assuming that those two American bandits were actually Butch and Sundance.
But whether it was them or not, the point is that they did not die that way.
I am asking how did the man ASSUMED to be Butch die.

The important bit is that they killed themselves; there was no charge at troops outside. In fact, one eyewitness account says that 'Sundance' shot 'Butch'.
