His wife/widow released this statement:

"Brian was an incredibly loving, generous, talented man who truly lived life to the fullest and touched so many lives. Most importantly, Brian was an incredibly loving father to our two sons and will be greatly missed. We appreciate your well wishes and request complete privacy as our family moves through this difficult time."

My family has United Healthcare for medical insurance. I can assure you that he WAS NOT a generous man. Not even close.

“Touched so many lives” ironic it seems that he touched someone’s life the American health care way

Apparently his wife also released this statement from a separate house than Thompson was living in, as they were divorcing. Too lazy to fact check, but does undermine the message somewhat if true.

Like nearly every health insurance executive, he was a mass-murderer who just happened to do it in a way that isn’t illegal and is also very profitable.

Just because you're revered by your inner circle doesn't mean you're not an asshole to everybody else.

I believe in psychology he would most accurately be described as a cunt

How many MORE people died from his weaponized incompetence after he took over as CEO?

Motherfucker was competent enough to sell off $15,000,000 in options before a couple of dips.

Weaponized? Yes. Incompetence? NO.

I feel certain they’ll say he didn’t mean to do it.

I can only imagine him talking with his colleagues gleefully about all the carnage he and they created for woefully overwhelmed families. I’m sure they don’t have names just numbers and stats and ROI’s. Just assigning numbers to the masses they robbed of money and time. Or maybe they are completely soulless and enjoy every second of what they do to people. I wonder what they do call the actual people they harm. Customers? Patients? Units? Sad sacks?

Glad he's dead. Hope he's not the last CEO to get a special delivery, hand inscribed present.

He was Brian Thompson, the UnitedHealthcare CEO shot dead in Manhattan. The headline literally says his name and the most notable things the dude has done: lead a massive health insurance company, and got shot to death.
