G. Gordon Liddy, convicted Watergate conspirator, dies at 90

Thomas Liddy told CNN in a phone call Tuesday evening that his father had died Tuesday morning in Mt. Vernon, Virginia. Thomas said his father had a “variety of ailments,” but that his death was not Covid-19 related and that he had received the coronavirus vaccine three weeks ago.

G. Gordon Liddy was convicted for his part in organizing the Watergate break-in on charges of burglary, conspiracy and wiretapping and served 4.5 years after President Jimmy Carter commuted his original 20-year sentence to eight. Liddy later went on to host a radio show and hold an acting career.

He is survived by his sister Margaret McDermott, and his five adult children: Thomas, Alexandra Liddy Bourne, Grace Liddy, James Liddy, and Raymond Liddy.
