Part 3
Manson was admitted to state prison from Los Angeles County on April 22, 1971, for seven counts of first-degree murder and one count of conspiracy to commit murder for the deaths of Abigail Ann Folger, Wojciech Frykowski, Steven Earl Parent, Sharon Tate Polanski, Jay Sebring, and Leno and Rosemary LaBianca.
On January 1, 2017, Manson was suffering from gastrointestinal bleeding at California State Prison , when he was rushed to Mercy Hospital in downtown Bakersfield.
A source told the Los Angeles Times that Manson was seriously ill, and TMZ reported that his doctors considered him "too weak" for surgery.
He was returned to prison on January 6, and the nature of his treatment was not disclosed.
On November 15, 2017, an unauthorized source said that Manson had returned to a hospital in Bakersfield, but the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation did not confirm this in conformity with state and federal medical privacy laws.
He died from cardiac arrest resulting from respiratory failure and colon cancer at the hospital on November 19.
Three people stated their intention to claim Manson's estate and body.
