(Reuters) - Charles Manson, the cult leader who sent followers known as the "Manson Family" out to commit gruesome murders, shattering the peace-and-love ethos of the 1960s hippie era in California, has been hospitalised, the Los Angeles Times reported.

 

Manson, 83, was in a Bakersfield, California hospital and his condition was unclear, the Los Angeles Times reported, citing Kern County Sheriff’s lieutenant Bill Smallwood.

 

A spokeswoman for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation declined to comment to the Los Angeles Times. She cited privacy laws that preclude the agency "from commenting on protected health information for any inmate in our custody," the newspaper reported.

 

State and local officials were not immediately available for comment to Reuters.

 

Manson, who was serving a life term for orchestrating one of the most notorious crimes in U.S. history, had been imprisoned for more than 45 years at California State Prison, Corcoran.

 

In the 1960s, Manson, an ex-convict, assembled a group of runaways and outcasts known as the "Manson Family." In the summer of 1969, he directed his mostly young, female followers to murder seven people in what prosecutors said was part of a plan to incite a race war.

 

Among the victims was actress Sharon Tate, the pregnant wife of filmmaker Roman Polanski. She was stabbed 16 times by cult members.

 

Manson was rushed to Mercy Hospital in Bakersfield in January for what authorities described only as a serious medical problem, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Rest in pieces.

Maybe he's lived as long as he has because being in prison for 45 years has helped him avoid the excesses of the world.  No orgies with the harem (ok, not the harem he had on the outside ), etc. 

And maybe prison food won't kill you, after all.

 

 

He didn't actually kill anyone,  did he...??

I was in La at that time.....hysteria was off the charts....

“It’s not going to get any better for him,” a source familiar with his condition told the website.

Ben Gurecki, a Manson groupie who regularly posts prison calls with the inmate on his YouTube channel, said Manson was brought to Mercy Heart Hospital with heart failure.

Be careful, he,s plotting an escape !

Let's hope it's a long and painful death.

despite all that is said on this forum he remains incredibly attractive to the opposite sex.  He has a big following and a web site or two where he talks about clean air.  Yes he is bad but he is an interesting person.

 

Spent the majority of his life institutionalized at tax payers expense.

 

Should of excecuted him years ago before California did away with the death penalty.

Be careful what you tell others to do.

hmmm.... this waste of oxygen should have been executed years ago. Instead he has been kept for 45 yrs at the tax payers expense.....hmmm. I look forward to hearing of his demise

Paying for all his medical expenses too. 

This pr... shouldnt be alive. The sooner he is dead the better the world will be.!!!

Finally, some good news!

 

Herostratic fame - shouldn't be reported as a headline, a footnote in some obscure journal should be enough.
