JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA (BNO NEWS) – Inmate John Evander Couey, who was on death row for kidnapping, raping and burying 9-year-old Jessica Lunsford in 2005, has died at a Florida hospital, officials said on Wednesday. He was 51 years old.
Couey passed away at 11.15 a.m. local time at Jacksonville Memorial Hospital, where he was transported to on August 12. Gretl Plessinger, a spokeswoman for the Florida Department of Corrections, said Couey died of natural causes.
Couey abducted 9-year-old Jessica Lunsford, a native of Gastonia, from her bedroom in 2005 before he raped and burried her.
If Couey's body is not claimed, he will be buried at an inmate cemetery at Union Correctional Institution in Raiford.

This scum died of natural causes. Very sad.
Life goes on, and if we don’t watch it. liberals will be defending the next child murderer to come down the pike.
“Natural Causes”
Let’s hope he was in the hospital for injuries sustained during a game of ‘house’.
He cheated justice in this life. He won’t find it so easy to cheat God’s justice though.
Polansky - cash = Couey
aint’t that the truth.
Burn in Hell, you rotten bastard.
And we have Whoopi goldberg the SPOKESPERSON FOR TOYS R US!!
check out the Toys R Us website...she is even on with a video!
We are all emailing and calling to get this B..tch removed as their spokesperson...after all she said what Planski did “wasn’t really RAPE-rape.”
Oldest looking 51 year old I’ve ever seen....
what in the world is wrong with these people?
sex with a 13 yo is well..rape...and RAPE...
That little Girl was alive and his family did not say anything they all should Burn for that.
Were they ever charged?
Yep, well put. The same might be said for Michael Jackson, and who knows how many more. Polanski and Jackson didn't have to kill anyone precisely because people would enable their perverse, depraved and evil predilections.
They were absolutely arrested, but I don't know what the final disposition was of their respective cases.
Recalling from memory they got a deal from turning states evidence. Complete travesty.
“Life goes on, and if we don’t watch it. liberals will be defending the next child murderer to come down the pike.”
They’re already defending child rapists (Polanski).
That’s two scumbags down in one week.
Speaking of God...why couldn’t He have taken Couey four years ago, before he killed Jessica?
You can ask him your self.
He just about never answers.
Keep asking he will answer.
Good Night!
I hope he’s enjoying the fires of hell. I *hate* what he did to little Jessie and to her father. And I don’t often use the word “hate.”
Satan has been real busy gathering in his flock lately.
Kennedy...Couey...maybe Polanski will be next.
There’s this little thing called “Free Will”. God is not to blame for the evil things committed by people (the blame - or credit - goes to Satan). God gave us the freedom to choose our path, along with the consequences for choosing poorly.
Actually, God does always answer. The problem is that we do not always listen for the answer, or accept the answer given. Free Will again.
Let’s not forget the recent death of Susan Atkins (Manson follower).
Yes...that’s the other one I was trying to remember!
The guy was about 5'4", dumb as a box of rocks, ugly as hell, looked about 30 yrs older than he really was and was generally a sickly horrible guy.
