Gatsby had not used his swimming pool all summer. Ironically, he decided to go for a swim at the same time George Wilson has come to his house thinking that Gatsby was driving the car that hit his wife, Myrtle. Sitting on a "pneumatic mattress" or pool float, He makes an easy target for George, who has brought a gun to kill Gatsby. Tom kills Gatsby then turns the gun on himself and "the holocaust was complete."
