Does anyone else suspect Robert Hansen's recent death is weird?

[Baltimike]

In light of recent discoveries?

Didn't he die just like, a week ago?

I am probably watching too much true crime tv

1. He was in his late '70s, and prison isn't the most healthful environment.

You are watching too much TV.

2. 79 years old

is 79 years old.

[CincyDem]

3. And that's 79 in "prison years"...probably more like 95 in his old Bethesda, MD neighborhood. n/t

11. Google says he was born in 1939. I was born in 1944 and I'm 79. I'm pretty sure... :-)

13. My google says he was born in 1944.

19. Hanssen was the spy. Hansen was a serial killer.

20. Ahh!! Thanks. nt

[Baltimike]

25. I meant the spy. Sorry nt

[RockRaven]

4. Not at all. IIRC he was a hard living kind of guy when he was free. Plus, high stress from

juggling the FBI and spying and a messed up personal life.

Then spent a few decades totally sedentary in a box. Frankly, 79 is pretty old for that kind of body abuse.

5. What connection do you imagine there is?

Keep in mind, Hanssen began spying for the Soviets in 1979 and was arrested and plead guilty in 2001.

So how does that have any connection to the "recent discoveries."

6. as someone noted earlier - it does free up a cell for the orange menace

[Raven123]

7. No

8. Did you mean...

9. Know what I mean? Know what I mean? Nudge, nudge, wink, wink. Say no more. Say no more. nt

[WhiskeyGrinder]

10. No.

[hippywife]

12. Just read Ted Kazinsky was also found dead in his cell at age 81.

And just in case - No, I don't see any correlation between either Hansen or Kazinsky's deaths and the indictment of the former Oaf of Office.

[Iggo]

14. I can't think of any recent events that would have anything to do with him.

[Baltimike]

16. the biggest Russian spy is US History, who just may been outdone by the last POTUS

who also has undeniable ties to Russia?

[Iggo]

17. Unless they changed the definition of "recent"...

…then yeah, that guy.

[H2O Man]

15. No.

There has been a pattern throughout human history where people who are born die. Some die early, some die old. Life in prison frequently adds to that. I would be suspicious if he never died, though.

[llmart]

18. LOL

[Hekate]

21. Life is ultimately fatal for us all..

My sweet old mother used to say something like that from time to time.

[roamer65]

22. Maybe they are clearing out Supermax for some new inmates!

[brooklynite]

23. No. He was old and in prison.

Life is not a series of conspiracy theories.

[rwild1967]

24. He died in 2014 IIRC

[milestogo]

26. No.

[Baltimike]

27. I was talked off the ledge a while ago. nt
