Ted Kaczynski, the convicted terrorist known as the Unabomber, was found dead in his prison cell Saturday morning, according to a Federal Bureau of Prisons spokesperson. He was 81.
Kaczynski was previously in a maximum security facility in Colorado but was moved to a medical facility in North Carolina in December 2021 due to poor health.
Kaczynski, who went nearly 20 years without being captured until his arrest in 1996, was considered America's most prolific bomber.

His vacated cell is at FMC Butner. He left ADX Florence a few years ago.

I must be thinking of some other deranged person who died.

The thought of possibly being a cell neighbor with Trump was too much for him.
