LaoEmmett "Curly" Thornton died in Montana at age 50, on 21 January 1999. But the cause of death is not easily found: internet rumors say he was murdered, which would not be surprising given that he was accused of child abuse, rape, and domestic violence. But the only newspapers that have this information do not seem to be available online. You may want to contact the Billings, Montana or Butte, Montana public library, and see if they can check his obituary for you.
He deserved to be murdered. Tortured & murdered the same way he did to others. A monster
