“#Murderer who survived botched execution dies of possible COVID-19<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

A condemned killer who survived a botched execution attempt more than a decade ago in Ohio has died of possible coronavirus complications, officials said.<\/p>\n

Romell Broom, 64, is suspected to have died of COVID-19 on Monday \u2014 some 11 years after Ohio tried to execute him by lethal injection and failed, the state prison system said.<\/p>\n

Broom was sentenced to die for raping and killing 14-year-old Tryna Middleton after abducting her in Cleveland in 1984 as she walked home from a football game<\/a> with two friends.<\/p>\n

His Sept. 15, 2009 execution was called off after technicians tried for two hours to find a usable vein and couldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Broom had said he was stuck with needles at least 18 times, with pain so intense he cried and screamed.<\/p>\n

At the time of the 2009 procedure,\u00a0the convicted killer was only the second inmate in the country to survive a modern-day execution.<\/p>\n

He was returned to death row, where his lawyers tried unsuccessfully to block a second execution attempt.<\/p>\n

Broom\u2019s most recent death date had been scheduled for June, but Gov. Mike DeWine in the spring issued a reprieve until March 2022.<\/p>\n

His attorneys had filed arguments with the U.S. Supreme Court that he should be spared a second attempt.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet his passing in this way, and not in the execution chamber, be the final word on whether a second attempt should ever have been considered,\u201d attorneys Timothy Sweeney and Adele Shank said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Ohio is now under a death penalty moratorium, in practice, since the governor said lethal injection is no longer an option due to the state being unable to find the drugs.<\/p>\n

DeWine, a Republican, has said that lawmakers will have to choose a new execution method.<\/p>\n

The state says 124 inmates have died from confirmed or probable cases of the coronavirus.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One death row inmate currently has a positive COVID-19 test and 55 other condemned prisoners were infected and then recovered.<\/p>\n
