@Trailrun23 Good. Now the state or government won't have to spend money keeping this piece of garbage alive.

I was surprised to read that he was 81. Good riddance.

I am curious how someone commits suicide in a jail cell.

@lgfan,

At 12:23 a.m. on June 10, 2023, emergency workers were called to Kaczynski's cell after he was found unresponsive. He could not be revived, and was transferred to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead at the age of 81. His death was publicly announced by the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Prison officials believe he committed suicide.

I don't see any definite indication yet of how he died. He was in a federal prison medical facility.

I'm only glad he's dead. A shame it didn't come sooner, although he said that he would prefer the death penalty to spending the rest of his (worthless - my word) life in prison, so perhaps justice was served after all by his extended incarceration.

What I always found fascinating was listening to Kaczynski speak during interviews as he was eloquent, soft spoken, highly intelligent, etc.., and if you didn't know his history you would never guess his situation and what he was guilty of doing.

Most likely by hanging himself with a sheet or using something that was smuggled in.

@Linmo

Wouldn't the guards notice? Or they just don't care?

Great news.

@lgfanUnless he was under some special watch, they wouldn't monitor him every minute.
