Kasabian died on Jan. 21 at a hospital in Tacoma, Washington, and her body was cremated, as TMZ first reported Tuesday. Her cause of death has not been revealed.

It is said you should always say something good about the dead...

She’s dead. Good.

She lived way too long. Hopefully her final moments were painful both physically and emotionally.

I hope she passed peacefully, painlessly. And loved the Lord.

“Kasabian had changed her last name to “Chiochios” in a bid to shield her identity and conceal her former affiliation with the notorious cult”

Smith or Jones mighta been a little less conspicuous. SMH

It was her testimony that put the rest of them behind bars. She was given immunity.

One of the reasons I really enjoyed the ending of “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood”, oh if only it could have been.

She grew up in Wilton, NH. In a house right next door to the Masonic Hall and the Library. She moved out to California when she was a teenager.

Her story is actually very sad. She was let down by everyone all her life long. Never caught a break. She was present during murders but she did not participate. The trials against the Manson Family might have been impossible without her testimony and assistance. She had a confused, disordered, sad life — but she knew it. And to some extent tried to do what she could to make up for it.

The part with the flame thrower was the best.

Machine gunning Hitler in ‘Inglorious Bastards’ was a nice touch as well... And would’ve been a justified ending for such a creep... But hey... Maybe somebody will machine gun Putin down... There’s still hope.

As I recall from Helter Skelter, Kasabian stood outside the Tate home while the massacre went on inside. She saw Krenwinkle chase Abigail Folger out of the house and knife her repeatedly and Tex Watson beat Frykowski to death on the lawn. The next night Manson had her knock on the door of some surfer she met on the beach and he stood behind her with a knife to kill him when he answered the door. She deliberately picked the wrong door. Not a great person to say the least but she was at least not actively involved in the murders.

She killed no one on that terrible day, and without her testimony Manson and his gang of killers might have escaped justice.
