Yes, he's still alive and he's now 74 years old (born on August 6, 2023). In fact after 2 years of freedom he was brought back to prison for violating his parole.
In an article of TMZ published on January 25, 2017, the ex-drug smuggler was sentenced for making an unauthorized trip to SoCal. He pleaded with the judge, but still got slapped a 3 month sentence.
Sources close to the infamous cócaine smuggler told TMZ that "George took a trip to San Diego to make a little cash for appearing at an event. We're told he couldn't get a hold of his parole officer, but Jung says his manager insisted it'd be okay ... since it was only a 4 hour work trip."
But that wasn’t the case and he was arrested when he got home to Sacramento.
He was reported to do a month or so behind bars, due to time served. And once he gets out he'll have to live in a halfway house for 4 months.
