An Ohio inmate whose 450-pound weight became an issue in his death penalty case has died seven months after being granted clemency, officials said Friday.
Ronald Post died Thursday morning at a prison hospital where hed been treated on and off since 2011, a state prisons spokeswoman said. He was a week shy of his 54th birthday.
Post was sentenced to death for killing Elyria motel clerk Helen Vantz on Dec. 15, 1983. His attorneys sought mercy for Post ahead of his Jan. 16 execution date on the grounds that he was so obese that he could not be executed humanely.

Yeah.
Heck, they could have greased him up and shot him out of Little David at Aberdeen...
Some crazy chick/fan was probably filling up his commissary account.
Oh BS. Any large animal Veterinarian could have put him down...
Like this one?
Moral of the story: if you find yourself on death row, eat like there’s no tomorrow and there will be one.
On Dec. 15, 1983, Helen Vantz, then 53, was shot and killed while she worked in the office of Slumber Inn in Elyria about 5 a.m., a pencil was still clutched in her hand when her body was found slumped over her desk.

NOW...
I was thinking of something that would save taxpayers a few bucks in the process... like feeding him to the lions at the zoo.
Seriously, how the hell do you get that fat in the joint?
Did he eat his victims?
Well, they got him one way or the other. No more having to feed him.
How did this guy get enough calories to balloon to 450 pounds on a prison diet?
Watch his family sue to jail for negligence for allowing him to die prematurely due to the jail ALLOWING him to get this big. I kid you not, I bet it will happen.
Bullet works faster and is cheaper. No waiting to see if he is dead
Did you see OJ yesterday?
It ain't just the EBT folks that are getting some massive rations of grub...
Just slip 500 sleeping pills into his last meal. He’d never notice. The fires of hell are burning with a lot of extra grease; that’s why the smokes is so black.
The EPA is going to go after them. Oh, I forgot. The owner is one of their good friends. They get an exemption for the extra pollution.
Because the sentence against a criminal act is not carried out quickly, the heart of people is filled with the desire to commit gluttony.

Actually bullets are more expensive if you factor in the total cost of the execution, clean up of body fluids (possible HIV infected blood, etc), legal fights over “inhumane treatment” etc.
