Luigi Mangione ‘considered using bomb to kill CEO Brian Thompson’ in twisted ‘to-do’ list: report

Accused CEO killer Luigi Mangione’s allegedly wrote a “to-do” list for tasks to carry out the execution of UnitedHealthCare boss Brian Thompson.

Accused CEO killer Luigi Mangione allegedly laid out his murder plot in a handwritten notebook — complete with a “to-do list” of tasks needed to carry out the slaying.

Investigators are looking at pages of notes the 26-year-old allegedly scrawled in a spiral notebook before he allegedly gunned down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson last week, police sources told The NY Post.

In one of the notes, which was first reported by CNN, Mangione allegedly weighed what could be better than “to kill the CEO at his own bean counting conference.”

He allegedly acknowledged, too, that a shooting would be more targeted — noting that a bomb “could kill innocents.”

Mangione is accused of fatally shooting Thompson as the 50-year-old CEO walked to a Manhattan hotel where UnitedHealthcare’s parent company, UnitedHealth Group, was holding its annual investor conference.

In addition to the notes, police are investigating a three-page manifesto-type document that Mangione had on him when he was captured at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on Monday following a five-day manhunt.

The alleged manifesto included raging remarks about “parasitic” health insurance companies and expressed disdain for corporate greed and power, according to law enforcement sources.

He allegedly also wrote that the US has the most expensive health care system in the world and that profits of major corporations continue to rise while “our life expectancy” does not.

The handwritten document allegedly found with Mangione included a line in which he claimed to have acted alone.

“To the Feds, I’ll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn’t working with anyone,” the document said, according to sources.

The details emerged as police continue to piece together a possible motive for the cold-blooded killing – including whether Mangione was fuelled by a vendetta against the medical industry after suffering from chronic back pain.

Mangione is being held in a Pennsylvania lockup while fighting extradition to New York, where he is facing murder charges in Manhattan over Thompson’s slaying.
