The Night Stalker serial killer, Richard Ramirez, who terrorized Southern California in the mid-1980s, also had Hepatitis C and symptoms of chronic drug use when he died of cancer, coroner’s officials said Monday. Richard Ramirez died June 7 at age 53 at a hospital where he had been taken for treatment of liver failure. Prison guards have told how the notorious murderer turned bright green from liver failure in the hours before he died. He died of complications from B-cell lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system, according to the Marin County coroner’s office. It listed other ‘significant conditions’ including chronic substance abuse and hepatitis C, which is often spread by the use of intravenous drugs. The drug abuse predated Ramirez’s time in prison, said Lieutenant Keith Boyd, assistant chief deputy coroner. “That’s chronic drug use prior to incarceration,” he said. “There’s nothing to support any kind of drug use while incarcerated.”
