Editing Ed Gein (section)

==Trial, imprisonment and death==
Gein's trial began in 1957, but he pleaded not guilty due to reason of insanity, a plea which was accepted by the court. He was confined to a mental institution in Wisconsin where he was diagnosed with schizophrenia, a trait that many speculate his mother also possessed.

However in 1968, psychiatrists informed law enforcement he was able to stand trial on account of his crimes, the trial lasted one week before Gein was confined to an institution for the criminally insane, he admitted to the murder of a woman named Mary Hogan but stated he was unaware of whether or not the murder of Bernice Worden in 1957 was intentional or unintentional. Gein died from respiratory failure at the age of 77 in 1984, he was buried in a Plainfield cemetery were his headstone was frequently vandalized over the years, the bulk of it was stolen in 2000 but recovered the following year and is now in the possession of law enforcement, Gein's grave is now unmarked.
