The former boss of Democrat controlled Albany, Sheldon Silver, has now died at the age of 77.

As The New York Post reports:

Silver died in prison while serving out a six-and-a-half-year sentence — most recently at a federal medical center in Middlesex, Massachusetts — after he was convicted in 2018 for accepting nearly $4 million in bribes, his former chief of staff Judy Rapfogul confirmed to The Post.

The Manhattan native had a history of chronic kidney disease and cancer and during his sentencing, petitioned the judge overseeing his case to let him complete his sentence at home.

“Your honor, I do not want to die in prison,” Silver wrote in a letter to Judge Valerie Caproni at the time.

Caproni denied the request.

No official cause of death for Silver has yet been released.
