He should have thought of this before he killed the deputy and saved the deputy’s family all that grief.

Leave him in his cell til his appeals are exhausted in about 15 years. It’ll give the others something to think about.

Unfortunate he didn’t take advantage of the 6+ years of life after murdering the officer to turn his life around and accept Christ. If he did, he wouldn’t have thought this was the right way to deal with what he was dealing with. He’s lost forever.

What would Jesus do? Not what Hey-suse did in killing a deputy. ? Was this one of our friendly guest workers?

Cool, I wish a few more death row inmates would follow his lead.

His dying words, written in his own blood, the very blood that was draining from his dying body, written so that the world would receive the most important message of his life, were illegible.

Loser!

Jesus Flores

On May 22, 2001 in Houston, Flores took a family member's car without permission.
The incident was reported to law enforcement.

A 35 year old white male Harris County deputy pursued Flores.
While the deputy was applying handcuffs to Flores, Flores shot the deputy
in the head using a gun that Flores had concealed, resulting in the deputy's death.

for killing a sheriff's deputy

There's a much improved chance of suicide or getting killed in prison when you kill a law enforcement officer.
Which is as it should be.

Since the death penalty was reinstated in Texas in 1974, there have been eight suicides by Texas death row inmates. The most recent before Flores' was on Oct. 19, 2006, when Michael Johnson cut his throat on the morning of his execution.

A preliminary investigation indicated Flores extracted a blade from a safety razor, then cut his own throat from ear to ear in his private cell, said John Moriarty, TDCJ inspector general, whose office is investigating the incident.

Flores, a pool installer and laborer, had argued with his sister at her northwest Harris County home over damage to her car he had caused the night before. Flores left his sister's home, driving away in a family member's car. His sister called 911 and Dennis arrived to take the report about the missing vehicle. As Dennis was taking the report, Flores drove past in another sister's vehicle and Dennis pursued him.

Flores shot Dennis in the head as the deputy was handcuffing him.

Well he did something charitable with his life. It is cheaper to just bury him than to pay for the last minute lawyering and then bury him.

A convicted killer sent to death row for killing a sheriff's deputy apparently committed suicide in his cell, prison officials said Tuesday.

Hmmmmm.....

Well, he's gone.

I doubt there's going to be an in depth investigation over a suicide.

Wasn’t this suicide “cruel and unusual”? Family members will probably sue.
