Whitey Bulger: Difference between revisions

Line 33:

Just hours after he was transferred to FCI Hazleton in West Virginia, the wheelchair-bound Bulger was beaten to his death on October 30, 2018. He was 89 years old. He had been beaten to death by multiple inmates, including gangster Freddy Geas, armed with a sock-wrapped padlock and a shiv. His eyes had nearly been gouged out and his tongue almost cut off. They wheeled him to an area of the prison where cameras weren't present. Geas had reportedly been angry at Bulger for ordering the killings of women and children (which are seen as off-limits) as well as being an informant to the FBI (known as snitching or ratting out, considered one of the most hated things a mobster can do). On November 8, 2018, a funeral mass was held for Bulger at Saint Monica – Saint Augustine Church in South Boston. Family members, including his brother, former Massachusetts state Senate president William M. Bulger, and the twin sister of Catherine Greig, attended. He was buried with his parents.

==Trivia==

*One of the witnesses who testified against him has said that they regret convicting him had they known of his night terrors.
