Durst in hosp with COV

Robert Durst, the former New York real-estate tycoon sentenced to life in prison Thursday for the murder of his longtime friend, has been hospitalized with COVID-19 and is on a ventilator.

“All we know, he’s tested positive for COVID-19, he’s in hospital and on a ventilator,” the 78-year-old convict’s attorney, Dick DeGuerin, told NBC News Saturday.

“He looked awful Thursday, worst I’ve ever seen him,” DeGuerin said.

“He was having difficulty breathing, he was having difficulty speaking.”

An LA jury found Durst guilty last month in the 2000 murder of Susan Berman, after she had allegedly vowed to go public on what happened to Durst’s wife, whose 1982 disappearance in New York is being reinvestigated.
