I thought he was the one that died, my mistake.
If it’s not him, I wonder who it was a few months ago that quit eating drinking and in about a week.
Same guy, but he didn’t die. If you read the article, at the beginning, it even says the escapee is the wife of Warren Jeffs who is serving a life sentence.

Same person, Warren Jeffs. Here is a story of the event.

KYTX — Prison officials say Polygamist Sect Leader Warren Jeffs was never in a coma.
“Although some reports had stated he was in a medically induced coma that was not the case although he was sedated,” TDCJ Spokesperson Michelle Lyons said. “He has been responsive today.”
The 55 year old is serving life in prison for sexually assaulting two underage girls. He was life-flighted at noon Tuesday from ETMC in Tyler to the UTMB Prison Hospital in Galveston. Jeffs had been at ETMC since Sunday when he was rushed there because medical staff became concerned about his health.
“He was taking in some fluids and some food but he was not eating enough or drinking enough,” Lyons said.
Lyons, with the Texas prison system, says Jeffs had been fasting and told prison officials he was not on a hunger strike. But if prisoners go on a hunger strike the prison says it can take action.
“We do have a policy in place where medical professionals can evaluate the situation and if it’s medically necessary they can move to force feed the inmate,” Lyons said.
