Aug. 28 (UPI) -- The state of Florida on Thursday executed a 59-year-old man for the 1992 murder of three people, including the mother of his child, despite the protestations of the victims' families.
Curtis Windom was executed Thursday evening by lethal injection at the Florida Department of Corrections in Rainford, located about 50 miles southwest of Jacksonville. He was the 11th person put to death in the Sunshine State this year and the 30th person in the country amid a surge in executions.
He was pronounced dead at 6:17 p.m. EDT, the Florida Department of Corrections said in a statement.
On the day of his execution, Windom woke at 5 a.m., had no visitors and was not seen by a spiritual adviser, Ted Verman, the Department of Corrections' director of communications, said to reporters during a press conference held before the execution.
His last meal consisted of ribs, baked beans, collard greens, potato salad, a slice of pie, ice cream and a soda, Verman said.
