Percy Garris was based on Percy Seibert, a Maryland mining engineer for whom Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid worked in Antofagasta, Chile. Contrary to Strother Martin's on-screen death, Seibert was alive when the two died, and served as the coroner's witness. In a 1930 interview, Seibert reaffirmed having identified the two dead in 1908, and insisted that the "William T. Philips" theory was "rubbish". Conspiracy theorists (nuts) have him lying to the coroner so that his friends could be declared legally dead and start a new life.
