Legendary serial killer Richard Ramirez died in a California hospital yesterday — and the man known as the diabolical “Night Stalker” looked like the Jolly Green Giant in the end, sources exclusively told The Post.
Ramirez, 53, who was sentenced to death in 1989 after he was convicted of killing 13 people during a monstrous L.A. rampage, died of natural causes yesterday morning in Marin General Hospital.
A day earlier, the self-proclaimed Satanist was seen moving around in his hospital bed — with a shocking green hue to his skin, a knowledgable source said.
“He was the color green,” said the source. “He looked like a green highlighter pen. He was sitting up in his bed doing stretches.”
The disturbing image of the once feared serial murderer comes two weeks after Ramirez suffered another health scare on Condemned Row at San Quentin State Prison near San Francisco.
He was rushed to the hospital, treated for his illness and returned to the prison, sources said.
During his 1980’s murder spree, Ramirez shot, butchered and strangled his many victims while also raping and sodomizing some of them.
He also gouged out eyeballs, scrawled Pentagrams on walls in his victim’s blood and forced other victims to “Swear to Satan.”
