According to posts on his Reddit account, Mangione&#8217;s back pain had been persistent for several years and worsened after surfing in Hawaii in 2022. Nehemiah and other members of the Surfbreak community &#8220;lost contact&#8221; with Mangione &#8220;after he left,&#8221; she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>R.J. Martin, a close friend of Mangione&#8217;s in Hawaii, told CBS News that Mangione was often social except for &#8220;when he was in severe pain.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There were times where he would kind of hide out and I&#8217;d only hear about it afterwards, but he&#8217;s one of those people that was such a gentleman,&#8221; Martin said. &#8220;He never complained. He would only tell me about things after the fact.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Martin said the pain &#8220;inhibited him from doing a lot of activities he wanted to,&#8221; but said Mangione was active when not in pain.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Martin grew emotional during the interview. &#8220;I just feel heartbroken, you know, somebody that I loved and cared about &#8230; could have done something so hideous,&#8221; he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The background image on Mangione&#8217;s X account shows an X-ray of a spine with hardware in it, reflective of previous surgery. It is not known if this is an X-ray of Mangione&#8217;s spine. An orthopedist told CBS News that the image appeared to show a hardware fusion, likely for a condition called spondylolisthesis, which is when a vertebra slips out of alignment. Mangione referenced the condition on Reddit and other social media accounts.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mangione said on Reddit that he had spinal surgery in July 2023. In October, he indicated that the operation had gone well, saying that he was &#8220;taking zero pain meds&#8221; and hadn&#8217;t &#8220;had a bad day&#8221; since the surgery, eight days before. In February 2024, Mangione said the surgery came &#8220;after 1.5 years of failed conservative treatment.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>He&#8217;s related to a prominent Maryland family<\/h2>\n<p>Mangione was born and raised in Maryland, Kenny said. He is related to a prominent Maryland family that owns country clubs, health care facilities and real estate companies, <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/baltimore\/news\/unitedhealthcare-luigi-mangione-family-maryland-brian-thompson\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">CBS News Baltimore<\/a><\/span>\u00a0reported. He&#8217;s also a cousin of Maryland state Delegate Nino Mangione, who represents parts of Baltimore County.<\/p>\n<p>Mangione&#8217;s paternal grandparents, Nicholas and Mary Mangione, were real estate developers who purchased the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.turfvalley.com\/about\/history-community\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Turf Valley Country Club<\/a> in 1978 and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hayfieldscc.com\/Home\/History\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Hayfields Country Club<\/a> in Hunt Valley in 1986. They founded Lorien Health Systems in 1977, and operated WCBM, a Baltimore radio station.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mangione&#8217;s family said Dec. 9 in a statement, &#8220;Unfortunately, we cannot comment on news reports regarding Luigi Mangione. We only know what we have read in the media. Our family is shocked and devastated by Luigi&#8217;s arrest. We offer our prayers to the family of Brian Thompson and we ask people to pray for all involved. We are devastated by this news.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mangione\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/baltimore\/news\/united-health-care-ceo-maryland-towson-brian-thompson\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">graduated<\/a><\/span>\u00a0in 2016 from the Gilman School, an all-boys private school in Baltimore, according to his LinkedIn account. He was the school&#8217;s valedictorian and captained its robotics team. He also received a scholarship prize in 2014. He also volunteered at Lorien Health Systems in 2014, according to his\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/luigi-mangione\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A former classmate, who wishes to remain anonymous out of respect for the Mangione family and said he met Mangione in middle school and remained close with him through high school, told CBS News that Mangione &#8220;a good guy&#8221; who &#8220;didn&#8217;t have any enemies.&#8221; The former classmate said the two lost touch after high school, but said they felt sympathetic when they heard Mangione was a person of interest in the shooting.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think he is a crazy person,&#8221; the former classmate said. &#8220;I hope that there&#8217;s a public trial and he gets the chance to explain how all of this happened in court.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Mangione appeared isolated before his arrest<\/h2>\n<p>In the months leading up to Mangione&#8217;s arrest, posts tagging his account on the social media platform X indicate his friends may have been trying to contact him. His last post on the site was in June. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nobody has heard from you in months,&#8221; one post from October read.<\/p>\n<p>Another post from July read, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know if you are okay or just in a super isolated place and have no service. But I haven&#8217;t heard from you in months.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mangione traveled to Asia for several months in early 2024, according to social media posts and people who spoke to him at the time. He posted about his travels on Reddit in April, saying he had visited &#8220;various countries&#8221; during the past two months. Gurwinder Bhogal, who said he corresponded with Mangione via email and a video call during this time, said he believes Mangione was in Japan until at least early May.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>He reviewed Unabomber&#8217;s manifesto, books about back pain<\/h2>\n<p>On the book review site Goodreads, Mangione often reviewed and rated books. His activity there included a four-star rating and review of &#8220;Industrial Society and Its Future,&#8221; written by Theodore John Kaczynski, also known as the Unabomber.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Two health-care-related books are on his read tab from 2022, including &#8220;Crooked: Outwitting the Back Pain Industry and Getting on the Road to Recovery&#8221; and &#8220;Back Mechanic.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nehemiah, from Surfbreak, said that Mangione returned to Hawaii &#8220;briefly in early 2023&#8221; and started a book club. However, &#8220;several members left due to discomfort in book choices.&#8221; She did not elaborate on what those books were.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"content__meta--contributors\">\n      <em><\/p>\n<p>                                  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/christina-fan\/\" class=\"byline__author__link\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Christina Fan<\/a>, <\/p>\n<p>                                  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/Alice-Gainer\/\" class=\"byline__author__link\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Alice Gainer<\/a>, <\/p>\n<p>                                  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/ali-bauman\/\" class=\"byline__author__link\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Ali Bauman<\/a>, <\/p>\n<p>                                  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/pat-milton\/\" class=\"byline__author__link\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Pat Milton<\/a>, <\/p>\n<p>                                  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/anna-schecter\/\" class=\"byline__author__link\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Anna Schecter<\/a> and <\/p>\n<p>                                  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/lilia-luciano\/\" class=\"byline__author__link\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Lilia Luciano<\/a><\/p>\n<p>        contributed to this report.<br \/>\n      <\/em>\n    <\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/alex-sundby\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Alex Sundby<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Alex Sundby is a senior editor at CBSNews.com.
