After thirsting over his abs and eyebrows, social media has now moved to finding out how tall Luigio Mangione is and after some bizarre maths, the verdict is that the suspected killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO is not less than 5’10” at least. The X handle which achieved this maths gleaning through photographs compared Mangione’s height with the police car that took him to the court and concluded that he’s at least 5’10. The social media user actually looked up the height of the Ford Police Interceptor Utility car which is 69.4 inches.
The 26-year-old Ivy League college grad allegedly walked up to the Hilton hotel in New York City Wednesday morning and brazenly killed UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson. He was untraceable for five days and on the sixth day, he was arrested in Pennsylvania. Since the murder, the Internet witnessed a bizarre craze about the suspected killer which only increased after the surveillance footage of the killer was released. From finding similarities between him and Timothee Chalamet to holding a lookalike contest in NYC, social media platforms saw it all before the craze took a different tangent as Mangione’s background information, favorite books, and political views came to light — with his fan following growing.
‘Luigi Mangione’ merchandise removed from Amazon
Amazon had to remove merchandise sympathetic to Mangione with ‘deny defend depose’ engraved on those products. Those are the words that the casings of the bullets that the killer fired had written on them — giving the first hint that it was related to insurance grievance. Washington Post reported that gifts like glasses, tumblers, shirts, hats with those words began popping up on Amazon, TikTok and eBay.
