He was in his late '70s, and prison isn't the most healthful environment. Ocelot II Jun 2023 #1

79 years old Casady1 Jun 2023 #2

And that's 79 in "prison years"...probably more like 95 in his old Bethesda, MD neighborhood. n/t CincyDem Jun 2023 #3

Google says he was born in 1939. I was born in 1944 and I'm 79. I'm pretty sure... :-) LAS14 Jun 2023 #11

My google says he was born in 1944. former9thward Jun 2023 #13

I can't think of any recent events that would have anything to do with him. Iggo Jun 2023 #14
