A Goodreads user asked Liana Maeby:

In Citizen Kane, Charles Foster Kane whispers the dying word "Rosebud…," but there's no one in the room with him. The nurse only runs in when he drops the snow globe. So how does the reporter know what he said?

Liana Maeby He does not. History has been rewritten. But I know the truth, and Charles Foster Kane' actual final word was "sled."
