Source — the man who masterminded one of the most heinous murder sprees in American history — is dead … this according to the sister of his famous victim.
Debra Tate tells TMZ she received a call from the prison telling her Manson died 8:13 PM Sunday.
We’re told the prison is contacting all of the victims’ families.
Manson died of natural causes, according to prison officials.
Manson was recently wheeled into Bakersfield hospital and escorted by 5 uniformed cops. Our sources had said at the time, “It’s just a matter of time.” He was covered in blankets and looked ashen in the gurney.
TMZ broke the story … Manson was taken from Corcoran State Prison to the hospital back in January where he was being treated for intestinal bleeding.
As we reported … Manson was supposed to undergo surgery but it was deemed too risky.
Manson has been locked up since his arrest in December 1969 for the Tate-LaBianca murders. He was convicted of conspiracy to commit the slayings, which occurred one day after the next in August 1969.
Manson was not present, but members of the so-called Manson Family slaughtered 5 people, including actress Sharon Tate, at her home in the Beverly Hills area. Manson’s goal was to start a race war he called “helter skelter” … from the Beatles song.
I remember watching a televised Charles Manson Interview with my parents when I was 8-9ish. My dad turned it off after he started to pretend to fly around the room and talking about his special powers.
It’s Ok to universally hate someone, and be happy when they’re dead. This crazy fucker and his harem of homely cult chicks murdered Sharon Tate who was 19 months pregnant and a bunch of other people and left messages in their blood. Never repentant and always fucked in the head, he spent the better part of 50 years in Jail safe to say it’s OK to watch his death go by on a news ticker and forget about it.
Entertaining as fuck though. I always wondered which drug made Manson snap. Peyote or LSD probably. Couldn’t have been weed cuz that just makes you happy and no one’s motivated enough to drive around killing people when you’re high. I can barely take my socks off when I’m high so don’t vilify the weed here.
So Charles Manson is dead. Its also going to be sunny today and Christmas is coming. Meh.
