A 58-year-old Missouri inmate had passed away Sunday behind the bars of a federal Springfield jail.
The death of Robert Bolden Sr. appears to be from natural causes as court records revealed he suffered from diabetes, kidney failure, and was on dialysis.
Bolden was sentenced to death for the 2002 murder of Nathan Ley, a Bank of America security guard, amid a botched robbery.
In 2016, he had to be transported to the US Medical Center for Federal Prisoners in critical condition in relation to his health issues.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons has yet to release a cause of death for Bolden, who had been on federal death row since 2006.
At the time of his sentencing, Bolden refused to apologize to Ley’s family and quoted scriptures.
Ley’s mom then commented in court, that Bolden was really sincere, “he can look forward to when he can face God and face my son and apologize.”
