After the town Halloween play when Jem ans Scout are walking home, who do you think killed Bob Ewell? Did he land on his own knife when he fell? Did Scout jump on his back and gouge his eyes out? Did Jem take an axe to his spinal cord? Or maybe Nathan Radley came out of nowwhere and made a flying drop kick to Bob Ewell's face and then stab him in the ribcage? Or maybe Tom Robinson tazed Bob abnd then stabbed him? All these are very probable possibilities. You be the judge.

I think that either he really did fall on his own knife or that Boo killed him when he saw Mr.Ewell attacking the children in a drunken rage. I don't know however if Boo is capable of killing someone considering he has not came out of his house in so long with hardly any human interaction. What do you think??????
I think that Scout and Jem teamed up and took him down and beat his head in with a hammer.
I have to agree with Tristan. I think that either Heck Tate was right, and Mr. Ewell fell on his own knife. Or that Boo killed him to protect Jem and Scout. Now to answer Tristan's question I think that Boo would have the capability to kill Mr.Ewell. you have to remember Boo had the strength to stab his dad in the leg. Also, I think he would have the capability because he was trying to protect someone he loved.
okay there are a few problems with your theories. one, there is no way Scout could have gotten up and gouged out his eye for two reason. she couldnt move and his eyes where still there. two, i really doubt that Boo dropkicked anyhting since he can barely move without coughing his lungs out, but i do think Boo killed bob ewell. and three, there were no tazers back then.
"Mr. Finch," Mr. Tate said stolidly," Bob Ewell fell on his knife. He killed himself." Concluding from this, Master Shake, I would have to say Boo did not kill Mr. Ewell, Mr.Ewell killed himself. Also I really doubt Jem took an axe to his spinal cord because a 13 year old would not carry an axe with himself, and I really don't think Scout would have enough strength to gouge his eyes out.
I agree that Jem did not kill him...I think maybe Boo did. Neither of the kids would have done that, at least not on purpose.
It was Boo, but Hells-bells tate said that Mr. Eww killed himself to protect Boo. He has had a hard life, and nobody really wants to make him go through a trial even if he's guarenteed to come out not guilty. The Radley's keep to himself, and the reason Boo would have killed him is because he had such compassion for the kids and the people of Maycomb. It shows a complete switch from the way he was portrayed in the beginning. From father stabbing maniac to caring and compassion guardian angel slash hermit. Well done Boo Radley, well done.
