I know many people have got involved in watching the Aussie TV show "Underbelly".. Season 1 - based on Carl Williams
My mum just sent me a text with this story.
UPDATE 2.55pm: CRIME KingPin Carl Williams is dead after suffering head injuries in an assault at Barwon Prison this afternoon.
The multiple killer and drug trafficker was critically injured in an assault at maximum security Barwon Prison this afternoon.
Williams' lawyer Rob Stary confirmed the death a short time ago.
Carl's father George declined to comment to the media at his Broadmeadows home this afternoon.
Ambulance officers were called to the jail, near Geelong, but Williams could not be resuscitated.
Police will travel to the scene today as part of their investigation.
An Ambulance Victoria spokeswoman said paramedics arrived at Barwon Prison about 1.18pm to find the man in a critical condition after he suffered head injuries and went into cardiac arrest.
A Victoria Police spokeswoman confirmed that a Barwon prisoner had died after being assaulted, but would not confirm that it was Williams.
"We can confirm that a prisoner has died as a result of an assault earlier this afternoon.''
Melbourne underworld figure Mick Gatto said he had heard unconfirmed rumours about Williams having died but said that was all he had heard.
"I would rather let dead dogs lie,'' he told AAP.
"If you hear any more let me know but I would rather not comment on him.''
He said Williams was "certainly not'' a friend.
Williams was serving life imprisonment in Barwon's maximum security Acacia unit with a non-parole period of 35 years for ordering the murders of three underworld rivals and the failed conspiracy to murder a fourth person.
He was found guilty of murdering Jason Moran, Lewis Moran and Michael Marshall.
He had one child, a daughter, with his ex-wife Roberta Williams, a convicted drug trafficker.
The Herald Sun revealed this morning that taxpayers paid the private school fees for Williams' daughter.
Williams' father George was released from prison in June 2009 after serving a sentence for drug trafficking, while his mother Barbara was found dead in 2009 after an apparent overdose.
