A rumor is swirling through law enforcement circles that 81-year-old James "Whitey" Bulger, the former boss of the Winter Hill gang in Boston, MA who has been on the lam since 1995, has died of heart failure in Costa Rica, and his remains have been cremated by long-time girlfriend Catherine Griegg as reported by FOX 25.
The FBI issued a statement last Thursday stating it has no reason to believe the old coot is dead as reported by Howie Carr for the Boston Herald: "The FBI has no credible information to indicate that Bulger is deceased. Until the FBI receives credible verified information that he has died, the FBI will continue its fugitive investigation."
