Did Ed Gein kill his brother, Henry?
In the first episode of Monster: The Ed Gein Story, we see that Gein kills his older brother Henry, 43, after the latter expresses a strong desire to go away from their possessive mother, Augusta. Gein uses a piece of wood to hit Henry in the show, then carries his body into the woods and sets up a brush fire to explain Henry's demise, as per USA Today.
Although Gein admitted that he killed two women, he never confessed to killing his brother, Henry. As per the outlet, Ed Gein himself had informed town officials about the fire, which led to the discovery of Henry’s body.
Henry’s body had major burn marks, and police dismissed the possibility of foul play in his death. The county coroner officially declared that Henry died of heart failure caused by asphyxiation.
