Notorious Boston gangster James "Whitey" Bulger was found dead at a federal prison in West Virginia Tuesday, federal officials said.
Bulger, 89, had recently arrived at the high-security penitentiary USP Hazelton in West Virginia, according to the Boston Herald.
The feared former leader of the Winter Hill Gang, Bulger was convicted in 2013 of participating in 11 murders stretching from Massachusetts to Florida to Oklahoma.
Bulger was serving a life sentence.
He was previously relocated from a Florida prison to a facility in Oklahoma. Though Bulger is known to have medical ailments, it's not clear why he was on the move, the Herald reported.
The New York Times, citing two Bureau of Prisons employees who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said Whitey Bulger was beaten by inmates to the point he couldn't be recognized.
Whitey Bulger was Robert Mueller's FBI informant. He was 89 years old. He was moved to a new prison where he was beaten to death. Almost immediately. Who would want to beat an 89 year old man to death unless he knew secrets you never wanted told?
Remember when Sean Hannity tied Bulger to the Mueller Crime Family?
Bulger was #2 on FBI's most wanted list for a long time, behind osama bin ladin. Any criminal would want that trophy.
John Gotti, for reference, was on people magazine.
