Father Gerald Robinson, the former Toledo priest convicted of brutally killing a nun, died early today in a prison hospital, his attorney said.
Robinson‘s death comes one day after a federal court judge denied his plea to be released from prison to live out his final days.
The priest was serving 15 years to life in prison for the 1980 slaying of Sister Margaret Ann Pahl.
He suffered a heart attack around Memorial Day and was told he had 30 to 60 days to live.
Rick Kerger, Robinson‘s attorney, said he spoke with his client Thursday afternoon to share the court‘s ruling.
