Ted Kaczynski aka Unabomber found dead in prison in US

Ted Kaczynski, commonly known as the Unabomber, has been discovered deceased in his prison cell by prison authorities. The 81-year-old was found early on Saturday at a medical facility within a federal prison in North Carolina, according to reports from US media.

A spokesperson from the Federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed that Kaczynski was found unresponsive in his cell during the early hours of Saturday morning. The cause of his death has not yet been determined.

In 1996, Kaczynski received a life sentence without the possibility of parole after evading capture for nearly two decades. He pleaded guilty to the deaths of three individuals and the injury of 23 others during his violent spree that occurred between 1978 and 1995.


Prison guards at the North Carolina facility made the discovery of Kaczynski's body at approximately 8:00 AM local time, as reported by US media.

Prior to his transfer to the North Carolina medical facility in December 2021 due to declining health, Kaczynski had been held at the federal Supermax prison in Florence, Colorado since May 1998.

Ted Kaczynski captivated the attention of America for many years with his actions, and his violent campaign resulted in permanent harm to several victims. Subsequently, he became the subject of numerous television documentaries.

Kaczynski's life trajectory followed a unique path in American society: from a solitary, brilliant child to a Harvard-educated mathematics prodigy, then retreating to a rural seclusion, ultimately transforming into a notorious murderer and imprisoned extremist.

The blend of periodic targeting akin to a disturbed serial killer and the ideological fanaticism characteristic of a terrorist made Ted Kaczynski an enigmatic figure in the eyes of the public.
