A former bodyguard for Brian Thompson, the UnitedHealthcare CEO who was shot and killed in NYC, is in complete disbelief the exec didn’t have security when he was murdered.
Philip Klein, whose Texas-based security firm Klein Investigations previously provided bodyguards for Thompson in the 2000s, tells TMZ … he is “shocked and baffled” to see the high-profile CEO didn’t have a “detail” (at least 10 security guards) with him while out and about in Manhattan — given the malevolence the insurance industry often faces.
He also says Thompson should’ve been wearing a vest in addition to having guards by his side, but adds … he likely didn’t have it on due to personal preference.
