Delaware M.E. determines Capano’s cause of death
The Delaware medical examiner has determined Tom Capano died of sudden cardiac arrest. The convicted murderer and former lawyer was found dead in his prison cell Monday, where he’s been since 1999.
WHYY/NewsWorks’ Mark Fowser reports Capano had atherosclerotic and hypertensive cardiovascular disease, and that obesity was a contributing factor in his death.
Capano was convicted of the 1996 murder of then Gov. Thomas Carper’s scheduling secretary Anne Marie Fahey.
