But the real truth behind Bulger’s violent death in prison – where he finally languished after years on the run successfully evading law enforcement – has not yet been written and recent revelations have only fueled speculation that some form of plot lay behind the gangster’s brutal demise. Sean McKinnon, who is accused by the government of acting as a lookout during the beating, had told his mother a day earlier that everyone on the prison unit had been alerted that Bulger was about to be transferred there.
“It all goes back to an element of corruption, using him as an informant and protecting him so he could commit crimes,” said Kevin Cullen, a columnist for the Boston Globe and co-author of a bestselling. “It doesn’t make any sense that the Bureau of Prisons would put him within striking distance of people like Freddy Geas or Pauly DeCologero.”
The Bulger family has said it holds the Bureau of Prisons responsible. A wrongful death lawsuit, which described Bulger as “perhaps the most infamous and well-known inmate” in federal prison since Al Capone, claimed that Bulger was “deliberately sent to his death” at a prison nicknamed “Misery Mountain”.
