Robert Durst is dead. The Real Estate Scion convicted as a killer died at the age of 78. This is according to multiple reports.
He was sentenced to life in prison after he was found guilty of three hurid murders and became a fugitive. He was on the run until he got captured and well dealt with.
Over four decades Mr. Durst was suspected of having killed three people: his wife, Kathleen Durst, who vanished on Jan. 31, 1982, after a fight at their home in South Salem, N.Y., and was never seen again; his friend Susan Berman, who was shot in her Benedict Canyon home in Los Angeles in 2000; and Morris Black, a neighbor who was shot in Mr. Durst’s Galveston, Texas, apartment in 2001.
Robert Durst died early Monday as a prisoner in Stockton, California.
The death was confirmed by his lawyer Chip Lewis who said he died at the San Joaquin General Hospital. He went there for a medical check-up.
