Will there be funeral service for Robert Durst?

Publish date: 2024-05-05

American magnate Robert Durst has passed away.

Durst died at San Joaquin General Hospital on Monday, January 10, 2022. He was 78.

His lawyer, Chip Lewis, said in a statement that: “We understand that his death was due to natural causes associated with the litany of medical issues we had repeatedly reported to the court over the last couple of year.”

Until his death, Durst was a Manhattan real estate heir and convicted murderer has eluded justice for decades.

Robert Durst was serving a life sentence for the murder of his close friend Susan Berman at a state prison for ailing inmates in Stockton in 2000.

Durst had managed to escape punishment for the deaths of his first wife, Kathleen McCormack Durst, and an elderly Texas neighbor, Morris Black, whose body he admitted dismembering and dumping in Galveston Bay until his arrest in 2015 in the Berman murder.

He had pleaded not guilty to murdering Berman before his conviction last year of killing her two decades earlier and sentenced to life in prison.

He had been arrested a day before the finale of an HBO documentary called “The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst,” in which Durst appeared to confess that he “killed them all, of course.”
