Bruce Davis, Charles Manson Family Cult Follower, Dies at 83
The convicted Manson Family member was pronounced dead at 11:03 p.m. on Sept. 11, and officials did not release a cause of death.
- Bruce Davis, a follower of cult leader Charles Manson, died Friday at the California Medical Facility in Vacaville at age 83, prison officials confirmed on Monday.
- Often called Manson's "right-hand man," Davis was convicted in 1972 for the murders of musician Gary Hinman and stuntman Donald "Shorty" Shea, holding Hinman at gunpoint while Manson attacked him.
- Although parole boards found him suitable eight times since 2010, California Governors Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jerry Brown, and Gavin Newsom consistently blocked his release, citing his failure to accept responsibility for his crimes.
- Debra Tate, sister of victim Sharon Tate, said "I always say a prayer upon their passing," while Davis's attorney Michael Beckman called him "the most rehabilitated inmate I've ever represented."
- While not involved in the notorious 1969 Tate-LaBianca murders, Davis remained an integral member of the Manson Family whose 1969 murder spree shocked the nation and became one of America's most infamous crimes.
