RJ Martin lived with the murder suspect in a shared apartment in Hawaii for six months and told the New York Times about 26-year-old Mangione's secret torment. He knew that dating and physical intimacy were not possible with his back problem, Martin told the Just.
“Breaks my heart”
“I remember him telling me that and it breaks my heart.” Martin explained the injury Mangione suffered after a back condition called spondylolisthesis was aggravated by a surfing accident: “His spine was somehow misaligned. “He said his lower vertebrae were displaced almost half a centimeter and I believe a nerve was pinched.

Martin told CNN that Mangione, whom he described as a smart engineer, suffered debilitating pain during his six-month stay at SurfBreak in 2022. It is still unclear whether his actions have anything to do with his pain.
Too strong restrictions
He said that after a single surfing lesson, Mangione “lay in bed for a week,” adding: It was really traumatic and difficult when you're in your early twenties and you can't do some basic things anymore.
Since Wednesday, authorities have been searching for a man who gunned down the head of billion-dollar US insurer United Healthcare, Brian Thompson, near New York's Times Square. The 50-year-old died of his injuries in a hospital. United Health, the parent company of United Healthcare, declined to comment on current events.
