OREGON - The Oregon Department of Corrections is asking for the public's help in locating relatives of a convicted killer who died in his cell. Joseph Demattio, 56, collapsed about 6:30 p.m. Wednesday in his cell at the Oregon State Penitentiary, said Matt Conens, communications manager for the Oregon Corrections Department. After staff members administered medical aid, Demattio was declared dead at the scene, apparently of natural causes, Conens said.

"That's why we're appealing for the public's help, which is a bit unusual." Read more. If link has expired, check the website of the article's original news source. |
