Best Answer

After 12 days on the run, Booth was located in a barn. Union soldiers lit the barn on fire to force him out. Before he got out a soldier named Corbett shot him in the neck. The bullet severed his spinal column and he was instantly paralized. He lingered for a couple of hours and finally died on the front porch of the farmhouse.
