Accused murderer Luigi Mangione’s grandmother reportedly left tens of millions of dollars to her children and grandchildren after she died, but did so on one condition: that any grandchild receiving inheritance money not be “charged, indicted, convicted of or pleads guilty to a felony.”
That’s according to Mangione’s grandmother’s will, Fox News reported last Friday, noting that Mary Mangione left roughly $30 million to her living children and grandchildren after she died in 2023. The outlet reports that Mangione’s grandmother had 10 children and 37 grandchildren.
“It is my precatory desire that the Trustees particularly consider invoking their discretion to implement this Section if the felony is a common law felony, a statutory felony if it is the codification of a common law felony, a heinous felony, any felony involving a physically violent act against another person or property or any drug related felony involving distribution or intent to distribute any type of drug or illegal substance,” the Mangione matriarch’s will reads, according to Fox News. “The decision of the Trustees is conclusive, final and binding on everyone. It is my precatory wish that the benefit of the doubt is not given to the individual.”
The charges against Mangione stem from the Dec. 4 killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside of a Manhattan hotel, which prompted a five-day manhunt for Mangione after he fled the scene on a bicycle and investigators lost track of him in Central Park.
Mangione was arrested after an employee at an Altoona, Pa., McDonald’s restaurant called local police. According to authorities, PEOPLE learned that Mangione had a “manifesto” on him at the time of his arrest in which he railed against the U.S. healthcare system, allegedly writing, “these parasites had it coming.”
Investigators also found bullet casings at the scene of Thompson’s death that reportedly had the words “deny,” “defend” and “depose” engraved on them — a possible reference to “deny, delay, defend,” a phrase used to describe insurance industry tactics for dodging claims.
One friend recently told the Honolulu Civil Beat that Mangione had been dealing with “debilitating” chronic back pain for years and that he recently became estranged from many of his friends and family, having gone largely unheard from since the summer. His mother, Kathleen Mangione, had reported her son missing in mid-November, roughly two weeks before Thompson was murdered.
