July 23 (UPI) -- An octogenarian who spent some four decades on Florida's death row has died, according to court records, making him at least the seventh death row inmate to die while waiting for their sentence to be carried out this year.
Robert Peede, 81, died Monday, according to Florida Department of Corrections records. No cause of death was mentioned.
The Florida Department of Corrections told UPI in an emailed statement that the cause of death is to be determined by the district medical examiner.
Peede was sentenced to death on March 4, 1984, for killing his estranged wife, Darla Peede, on March 31, 1983, near Orlando, Fla.
