MONTGOMERY - State inmate Farron Barksdale had a body temperature of 108.9 degrees when paramedics whisked him to a Montgomery hospital in 2007, only hours after arriving at Kilby prison for killing two Athens police officers.

Barksdale's extremely high body temperature was noted in 795 pages of public records on Barksdale that were released Tuesday by the Alabama Department of Corrections.

The 32-year-old Athens man was transferred to Kilby on Aug. 8, 2007, and 72 hours later corrections officers found him unconscious and bruised in his cell. He was taken off life support Aug. 20, 2007.

Several corrections employees say they did not observe any bruises on Barksdale after he was transferred to Kilby, based on the documents.

A week before Barksdale was found unconscious in his cell, he had been doing push-ups in his cell at Limestone County Jail and was "the picture of health," according to investigators' records.
