The death of Ted Kaczynski, better known as the “Unabomber,” is being investigated as a suicide, according to authorities. Kaczynski, who carried out a series of bombings between 1978 and 1995 that killed three people and injured nearly two dozen more, was found unresponsive in his prison cell and transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead at the age of 81. While authorities have not officially released a cause or manner of death, multiple news outlets have reported that he took his own life, citing people familiar with the matter.
Kaczynski had been serving time in a Supermax federal prison in Colorado for more than 25 years before being moved to a prison medical facility in Butner, North Carolina, in late 2021 due to health problems in recent years. His suspected suicide brings to mind the 2019 prison death of Jeffrey Epstein, a disgraced financier, and revives questions about whether prison officials could have done more to ensure the safety of inmates like Kaczynski and Epstein.
Epstein was found to have hanged himself while facing sex trafficking and conspiracy charges in a Manhattan federal detention center, although conspiracy theories suggest that he was murdered in his cell. The Federal Bureau of Prisons attributed his death to staffing shortages, lack of training, and employees cutting corners, according to federal documents obtained by the Associated Press. The implications of these deaths in high-security prisons are deeply concerning and demand further investigation.
