Notorious murderer Charles Manson died of natural causes on Sunday evening, according to prison officials. He was 83-years-old.
Manson was deemed responsible for a two-day murderous rampage through southern California in August 1969 that left seven people dead. While Manson didn't commit the killings himself, he commanded others to do so.
Manson had spent nearly five decades behind bars since his conviction and had served time in some of the state's largest prisons.
He was housed in a protective unit at a California state prison in Corcoran prior to his death on Sunday.
