Billy the kid was supposedly shot and killed at the age of 22.
But the guy that shot him was his former friend, Pat Garrett. It's possible that Pat helped his friend fake his death. Identifying bodies was a lot harder back then. Photos were very rare, fingerprints, DNA, and dental records didn't exist. And there was this old man who claimed he was Billy the Kid when he was 90 years old.
Here's a link about him.

Now Adolf Hitler supposedly committed suicide, but when the Russians found his body, one of Hitler's men had been burning it for hours. Why burn Hitler's body, if not to hide the fact that it wasn't Hitler?
Then in 1970, the Russians burned his body even more, and dumped his ashes into the river. How convenient.
After that, the only remains that exist are a skull and part of a jaw. The skull is questionable, but the jaw helped them confirm through dental X-rays that it's Hitler. Although dental records were just physical so could be switched easily if someone had access.
So of the two, Hitler or Billy the Kid, who do you think is more likely to have survived?
