Heart attack kills Ohio death row inmate The state says an inmate has died of a heart attack on Ohio's death row. Jessie Cowans was sentenced to death for strangling 69-year-old Clara Swart in her home in Amelia in southwestern Ohio in 1996. Ohio prisons spokesman Carlo LoParo said Cowans collapsed just outside of his cell at the Ohio State Penitentiary in Youngstown about 6:35 a.m. Tuesday morning and was pronounced dead about an hour later. The 50-year-old Cowans lost his latest appeal before a federal appeals court in Cincinnati in April. Deaths of natural causes on death row are rare but not unheard of, with five such deaths in Ohio in the past six years. www.chron.com/news/article/Heart-attack-kills-Ohio-death-row-inmate-2157485.php__________________________________________ Condolences to Jessie's family and friends. |
