On Manson’s Facebook page, a number of people offered their condolences.
“You know how to make beauty in sadness, good energy for you this hard time, greetings from Chile,” one person wrote.
“Not as a fan..but as a human being..I truly am so sorry for your loss. No fancy sayings or dark poetry..I just wanted to let you know some of us really do care about Brian...just Brian. Again..my condolences,” said another.

Wrote one: “I’m so sorry about your mom. She created a legend and she lives on through you!”
Manson is seen talking to his mother on the phone in 2000 on “MTV Diary” in a clip that can be watched on YouTube here. “Since my parents retired, I’ve been kind of taking car of them,” he says, as he’s seen talking on the phone. “They were living in Ohio but I brought them out to California.”
His mother says on the phone, “Everything you hear about him is true. All the bad things, right?” She then asks him if she can watch his dog. He then says, “Alright, I love you too,”
“The thing that makes me happy the most is knowing that you’ve got people around you that care about you,” he says to the camera.
