UnitedHealthcare CEO murder suspect Luigi Mangione complained about back surgery before slaying

Luigi Mangione, 26, the former Ivy League computer scientist accused of fatally shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, was reportedly dealing with back pain and the aftermath of a spinal surgery.

According to reports, Mangione, who resided in Honolulu for six months in 2022, confided in previous roommates about his chronic back pain and a pinched nerve, affecting him for years due to misaligned vertebrae that could occasionally pinch his spinal cord.

Mangione’s struggles with lower back issues were disclosed by former roommate RJ Martin in an interview with CivilBeat, a Hawaiian publication.

He also attended the Gilman School, a private prep school in the city, where he was valedictorian in 2016.

The notes left on the bullet casings found at the crime scene have drawn comparisons to the book “Delay, Deny, Defend: Why Insurance Companies Don’t Pay Claims and What You Can Do About It” – speculation swirled that the slaying may have grown out of resentment for a denied claim.

The book was not found on Mangione’s Goodreads account when accessed before it was set to private Monday.
