Wrongly convicted man dies of Covid-19, nine years after he was exonerated
CNN
After spending the last nine years taking back his life after being exonerated of murder and released from prison, Damon Thibodeaux has died of complications from Covid-19.
"The nurse that took care of him said he was positive and very friendly. She was honored to take care of him. She said most people are hateful but Damon was not," David Thibodeaux, Damon's brother, told CNN. "That's my brother. He is a very loving person."
Damon, 47, was wrongly convicted in Louisiana in 1997 and had been working as an Austin, Texas-based commercial truck driver since his prison release in 2012. He had rebuilt his life, according to his brother.
