Mass murderer Charles Manson is in the hospital with a serious illness, a source tells the L.A. Times.
Two sources confirmed Manson, who led the infamous Manson Family to nine murders in 1969, was taken out of California's Corcoran State Prison on Tuesday for an undisclosed medical condition. One of the sources said Manson was seriously ill.
TMZ reports Manson, 82, was taken to a hospital in Bakersfield, which is about an hour away from the prison.
The California Department of Corrections declined to comment.
"We do not disclose inmate movements for safety and security reasons," spokeswoman Terry Thornton told the L.A. Times, though she said "He is alive."
