UNABOMBER FOUND DEAD IN PRISON CELL

Boston Bomber Tsarnaev Faces Prison Hell if He Escapes Execution - NBC News

(AP) – Ted Kaczynski, the convict known as the Unabomber,
was found dead in his prison cell Saturday morning. He was
81 years old.

Kaczynski was found dead around 8 a.m. at a federal prison
in North Carolina, a Bureau of Prisons spokesperson told
The Associated Press. A cause of death is uncertain.

He had been moved to the federal prison medical facility in
North Carolina in December 2021 after spending two decades
in a federal Supermax prison in Colorado for a series of
bombings that targeted scientists.

Kaczynski was serving life without the possibility of parole
following his 1996 arrest at the primitive cabin (below) 
where he was living in western Montana.

He pleaded guilty to setting 16 explosions that killed three
people and injured 23 others in various parts of the country
between 1978 and 1995.
