A Georgia man who was recently sentenced to death in the killing of two prison guards in 2017 died Sunday in an apparent suicide, according to a news release from the Georgia Department of Corrections.
Ricky Dubose was found unresponsive in his cell Sunday by correctional officers at the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Prison in Jackson, Georgia, the department said. He was pronounced dead by the coroner after life-saving measures were performed, officials said.
His death comes just 10 days after he was convicted of murder and sentenced to death for killing two corrections officers during an escape from a prisoner bus in Putnam County, Georgia, in 2017.

Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins. They are betting that the unfiltered style that has brought Platner widespread attention as someone who could help Democrats reach young men will backfire with women.
