‘Unabomber’ Had Cancer, Depressed Before Suicide: Report

Ted Kaczynski, the infamous “Unabomber,” had been diagnosed with late-stage rectal cancer and was feeling “depressed” before he killed himself last June, according to his autopsy report, which was obtained by NBC News.

For two decades, Kaczynski sent bombs via the mail, killing three people, and injuring 23. He was finally captured in Montana in 1996 and was sentenced to life without parole. He was found hanging in his cell at the Federal Medical Center in Butner, North Carolina.

“At around midnight on June 10, 2023, he was found to have hung himself from a handicap rail in his room with shoelaces,” the autopsy report conducted by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in North Carolina said. “He was initially pulseless, and resuscitation was initiated.”
