Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO, was found to have referenced filmmaker Michael Moore and former reporter Elisabeth Rosenthal in writings discovered during his arrest. Mangione's manifesto highlighted Moore's 2007 film 'Sicko,' which delves into the health insurance industry, and Rosenthal's book 'An American Sickness: How Healthcare Became Big Business and How You Can Take It Back,' shedding light on corruption and greed within the healthcare sector.
Additionally, Mangione was found with a notebook detailing plans for the shooting, including a description of attending a conference and targeting an executive. This information was reported by sources citing two law enforcement officials.
The tragic incident occurred on December 4th when UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot outside a hotel in New York City. Thompson was en route to a company conference at the time of the attack.
