Double Murderer Died on Life Support
…After Serious Fall, Septic Infections
Published
Betty Broderick — the woman who fatally shot her ex-husband and his new wife back in 1989 — died in the ICU Friday following a number of health issues, TMZ has learned.
Betty’s son, Daniel Broderick, tells TMZ … she had a number of septic infections — including one infection that she had years ago and came back. Plus, she had a serious fall at the Californian Institute for Women where she was locked away about 3 weeks ago … which resulted in broken ribs.
Daniel says Betty ended up in the ICU at a hospital off the prison grounds. She was on life support at the end of her life and unable to communicate.
Daniel and his 3 siblings were all bedside when she passed Friday morning.
Betty was serving a 32-year-to-life sentence for murdering her ex-husband Dan Broderick and his wife, Linda, when she died.
Dan admitted to having an affair with Linda, his much-younger assistant, while he was married to Betty — years after she confronted him about her suspicions. Betty was so pissed she ended up stealing her daughter’s key to Dan and Linda’s home 7 months after they were married and shot them to death in cold blood.
She was sentenced to 2 consecutive, 15-year-to-life terms and was also convicted of illegal use of a firearm. Betty was denied parole 2 times … and would have been eligible for parole again in 2032.
