JUST IN: A CDCR officer who guards Charles Manson at Corcoran State Prison confirms suspicions his health is dwindling fast.
— Hanna Battah (@HannaBattah) November 16, 2017
The infamous cult leader and serial killer was hospitalized earlier today. Sources told TMZ that Manson wouldn’t be recovering from this — “It’s just a matter of time.”
Manson is 83 years old.
Manson’s health has been declining for a year now. Reports say that his poor health makes him difficult to treat, so each illness and ailment compounds on the last.
Manson has been a prominent figure in American culture since his rampage through the country in the late sixties.
