NASSAU- Prison inmate Andrew “Yogi” Davis has died.
Davis, 43, suffered from multiple medical issues, including, obesity, high blood pressure and heart failure.
He was on a special diet to manage his weight and his family was allowed to bring him vegetables and fruits.
But that changed when Commissioner Charles Murphy closed the prison’s reception area due to COVID-19 in March.
As a result, Davis’ health began to decline. His family asked National Security Minister Marvin Dames and Commissioner Murphy to make an exception due to his failing health. But each request was denied.
Around 6:30pm today, Davis complained of chills, shortness of breath and a fever. He died an hour later.
Davis was convicted along with Stephen “Die” Stubbs of the 1999 murder of Jimmy Ambrose. They were both awaiting a decision from the Privy Council.
