His miserable life became the basis for the 2006 Oscar-winning film "The Departed," which starred Jack Nicholson as a character modeled on Bulger. In 2015, actor Johnny Depp played Bulger in the film "Black Mass."
Live by the sword, die by the sword.

From what i can gather they really battered and butchered him
Die by the sword indeed...
Bye, Felicia!
shareInteresting that the details on how he died during his prison transfer is not revealed in the article. It's very telling that his own brother became an upstanding, respected citizen of society while he became a notorious criminal, both growing up with their family in the Mary Ellen McCormack Housing Project in South Boston.
shareVery suspicious i would say...
He was beaten to death and had his eyes gouged out the DAY after he transfered to West Virginia?!?
Something doesn't seem right...not that anyone is crying for that maniac but still, nothing gets planned and put into motion that quickly
There is a bone to pick here
Whitey was in a wheelchair and they beat him with a lock inside a sock. No mercy.

OUCH!
See, this is why reporting stinks nowadays
One report stated a gang with a shiv beat him to death and took his eyes...
Another site stated that a single gangland dude was being held for the slaying
Well, anyway he's most certainly dead...i just wish the news could agree on certain facts
i just wish the news could agree on certain facts
A variety of sources seems like a good strategy...but maybe The News should stop trying to 'scoop' each other and wait for the straight facts
I hardly watch the news anymore for this very reason...it all sounds like rushed BS to me
Yeah, it's the exclusivity aspect for sure but expecting them to stop that competitiveness in our society is unrealistic.
If it sounds "rushed" it's because it is. Too often, correspondents in the field appear hyped on too much caffeine and sugar, often redundant in their rhetoric because they're desperate just to keep the narrative going.
Correct on all points
Bad state of affairs!
Shogun: I read that they have a man in custody that they suspect, he is a Greek hitman that was in prison. The biggest complaint I read was stated by a former Prison Warden who said, "you don't put a high visibility prisoner like Bulger in general population, that warden just was setting Bulger up to be killed. Especially an older guy in a wheelchair."
The hitman was a guy that hated men that hurt women and Whitey was known to have killed women so that was part of it.
Yeah
I read the suspect hated informants and woman abusers
I also read that the prison has had 3 homicides in the last month and a half...time for new management!
NO tears for Bulger of course but damn, people have to do their jobs
PS nice to meet you!
Hey thanks! I am new here, not a fan of murderers, no matter if they are killers or killers of killers. ;)
