Notorious Boston crime boss James "Whitey" Bulger was a man who lived by the sword, and at the end of his life - at the ripe old age of 89 - he died by it when he was horrifically murdered in a maximum security prison. ‌

The Irish-American crime lord and FBI informant was bludgeoned to death with a padlock in a sock on October 30, 2018. ‌

The wounds were so severe his eyes were nearly gouged from their sockets and his tongue was mutilated. ‌

His body was so brutally disfigured that he was barely recognisable.

The prisoners who killed career criminal Bulger deliberately positioned themselves away from CCTV surveillance, reports the Mirror US .

However, despite their efforts, the cameras still recorded several of them attacking Bulger before shoving his wheelchair into a corner.
