Wikileaks whistleblower Chelsea Manning s mother reportedly drowned in her bathtub after drinking alcohol. 65-year-old Susan Manning was found dead at her Pembrokeshire, Wales residence in January, where she was submerged in the water while heavily intoxicated, The Sun reported.
Chelsea (previously Bradley Manning) missed her mother s funeral as she was being held in a US detention center at the time, according to the report. The 33-year-old former Army intelligence analyst was behind bars for contempt between March 2019 and March 2020, after she refused to testify before a grand jury that was probing Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.
