Luigi Mangione Suffered Chronic Back Pain, Friends Say He Fell Out Of Touch Earlier This Year
HuffPost
The founder of a co-living community in Hawaii told the Honolulu Civil Beat that Mangione went “radio silent” this summer.
Luigi Mangione, the suspect arrested in connection with the murder of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO, fell out of touch with some of his friends and family earlier this year, according to multiple media reports.
The loss in contact seemed to align with a back surgery Mangione underwent to treat chronic pain linked to a pinched nerve. R.J. Martin, the founder of a co-living space in Hawaii called Surfbreak, told the Honolulu Civil Beat that Mangione lived in the community, near Honolulu’s Ala Moana Beach Park, for six months in 2022.
Martin described the man as an articulate, engaged member of the community and said he was shocked by the news of his arrest on Monday, noting he helped start a book club for residents.
But Martin said he suffered from ongoing pain linked to a back issue, describing it as a “misaligned vertebrae that would pinch” his spinal cord. A spokesperson for Martin added to the Times that Mangione’s back injury had stopped him from surfing and had impacted his romantic life.
The pair stayed in contact after Mangione moved out, and Mangione sent photos after he had back surgery. Martin told the Civil Beat the man “went radio silent in June or July” of this year.
