Pipe-Bomb Killer Back in Prison After Overdose
POINT OF THE MOUNTAIN, Utah — Pipe-bomb killer Mark Hofmann has been returned to Utah State Prison after 11 days in a hospital for an overdose of an anti-depressant drug, officials said.
Hofmann, 33, was released from the University of Utah Health Sciences Center on Monday and taken to the prison’s hospital unit.
Hofmann is serving a five-years-to-life sentence for his guilty pleas to two 1985 pipe-bomb murders. He confessed to the killings and said they were intended to mask his activities as the forger of historical documents, many related to the Mormon Church.
