Here's an update on the microwave killer. Sorry to T/J but I"m compelled to do follow up
UNIONTOWN, Pa. -- A Fayette County man has died in prison less than a month after he was sentenced to life in prison for beating his girlfriend to death with a microwave oven.
Prison officials said 60-year-old Walter Fordyce, of Uniontown, died Friday at Holy Spirit Hospital at the State Correctional Facility in Camp Hill, Cumberland County.
Fordyce had been in the prison since he was convicted Feb. 5 of stomping on 54-year-old Mary McCann after hitting her with the microwave at their home in April 2006. Police said Fordyce attacked the woman after a day of drinking that ended with a fatal argument over a roast beef sandwich.
Jurors deliberated for 30 minutes before finding Fordyce guilty of first-degree murder.
