offender on death row for kidnapping, raping and burying a Florida
girl alive has died of natural causes.
After John Evander Couey abducted 9-year-old Jessica Lunsford
from her bedroom in 2005, many states passed laws named after her
that impose restrictions on sex offenders.
Department of Corrections spokeswoman Gretl Plessinger says
Couey died of natural causes Wednesday at a Jacksonville hospital.
The 51-year-old had been sentenced to death in 2007.
Plessinger says Couey had been ill for some time. She declined
to provide any specifics, citing a federal law protecting the
privacy of hospital patients.
