Linda Kasabian Dies: Member Of The Notorious Manson Family Was 73
deadline.comLinda Kasabian, a former member of the notorious Manson family cult, died last month at a hospital in Tacoma, Washington. She was 73.
Kasabian died on January 21, and a death notice ran in the local newspaper Tacoma News Tribune, which named the former cult member as Linda Chiochios, one of the names she used after the Manson murder trials.
Multiple media outlets have obtained copies of her death certificate where no cause is listed. Born Linda Drouin in Maine in 1949, Kasabian moved to Los Angeles aged 20, where she became entwined in the brutal rampage, which became known as the “two nights of mayhem” during which members of Charles Manson’s cult murdered seven people, including actress Sharon Tate.
Tate was the wife of filmmaker Roman Polanski, and she was more than eight months pregnant at the time of the murder. Kasabian did not take part in the murders themselves and is said to have played “lookout” as members of the Manson cult carried out the murders of Tate as well as Leno and Rosemary Labianca.
