How did the Unabomber die?

On January 22, 1998, Ted Kaczynski pleaded guilty to all federal charges against him in exchange for a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole. This spared him from the possibility of the death penalty, and he spent the next 25 years in prison. He was diagnosed with cancer in March 2021, and later that year, he was transferred to the Federal Medical Center in Butner, North Carolina. On June 10, 2023, Kaczynski hanged himself, and he was found dead in his cell.
