ed gein did he kill his brother

Ed Gein did not officially kill his brother Henry, but there has been suspicion and speculation about Henry's mysterious death. Henry Gein died in 1944 under unclear circumstances during a fire on their property, but his death was officially ruled as asphyxiation and considered an accident. Ed Gein never admitted to killing Henry, and no definitive evidence proved his involvement. However, biographers and investigators have raised questions about the possibility that Ed could have played a role. Aside from his brother, Ed Gein admitted to the murders of two women, Mary Hogan and Bernice Worden, and was found guilty of one murder but declared legally insane.
