State prison officials are investigating the homicide of an inmate who was serving life sentences for the murders of two 蜜柚直播 women.
Apollo Ortega, 31, was found unresponsive in his housing unit at the prison in Florence on Monday, according to an 蜜柚直播 Department of Corrections news release.
Prison staff attempted life saving measures on Ortega, but paramedics pronounced him dead, the release said.
The investigation into his death is ongoing.
Ortega was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder in 2009 for the 2008 attacks on three 蜜柚直播 women that occurred less than three weeks apart, according to 蜜柚直播 archives.
He was initially facing the death penalty in the slayings of two of the women, Norma Jean Conner, 52, and Magnolia Ortiz, 57, but Pima County prosecutors negotiated a plea agreement for the two life sentences.
