State prisons officials say a San Quentin death row inmate convicted of two 1985 murders in Los Angeles has died of natural causes.

California’s Department of Corrections says 74-year-old Michael Homick was pronounced dead Wednesday at 11:26 a.m. at a hospital near the prison.

The couple was killed in an underground garage at their Brentwood condominium after a family gathering to celebrate the end of Yom Kippur.

This is about normal, I would say. When I was at San Quentin, from 88 to 90, I think 3 death row inmates died from other causes. There are some total scum bags on death row.

Strange, he was smiling pretty wide in his mug shot.

Serial killers should never have the chance to die from natural causes.

Wow. The guy was 29 years in a tiny cell in San Quentin.

That place is an ancient dump of a prison, very overcrowded. A real hole.

And you know you’re only leaving in a box.

Worse than death penalty, I think.

But of course, you were innocent!

Justice delayed is justice denied. Prayers for his soul.

The Fed’s killed Timothy McVeigh in about four years after conviction. Why can’t the states accomplish that?

But of course, you were innocent!

You are correct sir. I was so innocent, that they always let me out after 8 hours.

Who knows? Maybe the Feds were trying to silence McVeigh before he talked.

In Japan; When your sentenced to death, you don't know when
you'll die, then one morning comes. Dead. 😑

Oh yes, I know about Japan's death penalty practices.

IIRC, you don't get a needle in the arm while lying on a padded table. You get dropped through a trap-door with a rope around your neck.
