Breaking News: Nathan Boyd Dead at 40

 

Convicted Florence killer Nathan Lee Boyd has been found dead in his cell at the William Donaldson Correctional Facility. Nathan and his brother were both tried for the robbery/murder of Danny Sledge in 1999. Nathan, ostensibly the mastermind, was sentenced to life without parole. Eric, who was never connected to the actual crime by physical evidence, is currently serving a similar sentence, but with a chance at parole.

Authorities say the Tuesday afternoon death has been ruled as from natural causes.  Eric Wayne Boyd is currently in the Limestone Correctional Facility with a parole hearing scheduled for August 2024.
