Milat was diagnosed with esophagus and stomach cancer in May of this year. He had moved for treatment to Sydney's Prince of Wales Hospital on October 11th, reports ABC News.
In a statement, the NSW Department of Correcting Services announced that Milat died about 0400 this morning.
Milat was arrested in 1994 after one of the largest police investigations in Australian history, after seven bodies were discovered in shallow graves at Bellanglo State Forest, southwestern Sydney, 1992 and 1993.
His victims were all tourists traveling south along the Hume Highway near Liverpool, west of Sydney, who had disappeared between 1989 and 1992.
They were Deborah Everest and James Gibson, both 19 years old from Victoria, Simone Schmidt, 21, from Germany, Anja Habschied, 20, and Gabor Neugebauer, 21, a couple also from Germany, Caroline Clarke, 21, and Joane Walters, 22 years old from Britain.
The court documents say that all except one of the victims had been subjected to a <x0-venging sexual intervention before or after death”.
Milat, who was sentenced in 1996, never admitted to the killings.
