Donald Harvey, Angel of Death dead

Donald Harvey claims to have killed 37 people while working as a nurse’s aide in Ohio and Kentucky before he was arrested in 1987. Later he claimed that he killed 18 others in the Cincinnati VA hospital. He was sentenced to 28 life sentences as a result of a plea deal to avoid the death penalty. Well, according to the Associated Press, there was one death penalty he couldn’t avoid;
Donald Harvey, who was serving multiple life sentences, was found beaten in his cell Tuesday afternoon at the state’s prison in Toledo, state officials said.
He died Thursday morning, said JoEllen Smith, spokeswoman for Ohio’s prison system. He was 64.
While details about the attack weren’t released, he was beaten when an unnamed person went into his cell, a patrol report said.
Harvey was able to hide his crimes for 17 years until an alert doctor detected the smell of cyanide on one of Harvey’s victims. According to Wiki;
Harvey used many methods to kill his victims, such as arsenic; cyanide; insulin; suffocation; miscellaneous poisons; morphine; turning off ventilators; administration of fluid tainted with hepatitis B and/or HIV (which resulted in a hepatitis infection, but no HIV infection, and illness rather than death); insertion of a coat hanger into a catheter, causing an abdominal puncture and subsequent peritonitis. Cyanide and arsenic were his most used methods, with Harvey administering them via food, injection, or IV.
I’ll bet in the last moments of his life, the government’s death penalty was looking pretty good to him.

May he receive the personal attention of Satan for all eternity.
He’s getting dorked in the squeakhole with the BARBED COCK OF SATAN… for eternity!
He died too quickly, IMHO.
According to the Golden Rule……
Looks bad, Don Harvey.
I hope this maggot died in a lot of pain.
From the article linked above:
‘Harvey told a newspaper after he pleaded guilty to avoid the death penalty that he liked the control of determining who lived and died.’
I wonder what he thought in his last moments about the unnamed person who went into his cell having control of determining if HE lived or died?
Talk about poetic, Biblical justice.
I can think of several relevant passages from the Prophets.
Yep, so can I. And the Chumash.
May he Rot in HELL ! ! !
FFS, a coat hanger up the urethra?
Kharma motherfucker….
What a sadistic, demented, evil excuse for a human being. Makes you want to hope that whoever administered his failure to continue breathing is never identified.
Nice. After 30 years in prison, he gets beaten to death. Sounds about right.
If he’d gotten the death penalty he would have been gone in minutes with a lethal injection. Here, he took two days to die. Good.
In which news account is that detail found? Everything I can get to here (which excludes yahoo anything) has the same sparse verbiage from the AP release.
The story above says he was found beaten in his cell on Tuesday afternoon and died Thursday morning. So, technically a little less than two full days, but still far longer than a lethal injection would have taken.
Yeah, but did he ever regain consciousness during that time?
After 30 years someone (hopefully a Veteran) beat him to death.
I love a happy ending.
I have a CIB, Vietnam grunt. Americal Divison, Chu Lai 23rd Infantry. How do I get on board with the other grunts on this site!
Am I a bad person because this makes me smile?
No.
“There are those who live that deserve death, and those who are dead that deserved life. Can you give it to them?” – Gandalf
As a life sentence prisoner once said on one of those nat geo shows, “a life sentence IS a death sentence”.
Tough call whether to let someone rot in prison the remainder of their life, or just kill them and get it over with.
If their continued existence didn’t depend on the taxpayer, I would agree with you.
Well, it would be lots cheaper without AC, television, prisoner wifi, etc.
If only we could clone Sheriff Arpaio and put him in charge of every prison in America. . .
AND food! no food, no medicine…no nothing…!
I always liked that line from Lord of the Rings.
Of course, Tolkien has a lot of deep thoughts embedded in his literature, because he thought deeply.
I hope the beating was due to finding out how much of a sick fuck this guy was.
Though, it was probably more along the lines of him buying drugs and refusing to toss the salad.
As he did, so was it done unto him.
He sowed unto the wind, and reaped the whirlwind.
Forgive me Lord, but I hope he died in pain and humiliation.
was he saved?
That is possible.
I don’t know how likely, but if he was not, then what he is experiencing now is terrible beyond words.
And far worse than everything he perpetrated on his victims combined.
True indeed.
And I apologize if I made too much light of the situation; it is sort of an inside joke among some coworkers of mine that whenever someone passes one of us will ask “was he/she saved” in loving mockery of many of our relatives.
Old graffitti from the ’60s
“Jesus SAVES!”
and below it
“But Moses invests”
“Jesus saves, but it’s Gretzky with the rebound, he shoots HE SCORES!!”
Another oldie about the world’s highest scoring forward – Jap fella names Hishutsi… Hishutsi scores!
Jesus saves, and so do you at K-Mart!
…”and Buddha gives dividends…”
One wonders -assuming Dante’s Inferno was accurate- if he counts as a murderer or a betrayer. Which circle does he go in?
First I say GOOD RIDDANCE to a burden on the taxpayers and I hope
his killer is never found, he did society a favor and it warms the cockles of my heart to know he took two days to die and I hope they were painful!
Good riddance.
Well, Bye …
Good fucking riddance.
Gives a whole new meaning to “Coming to Jesus meeting”.
I am pretty sure he was rejected at the Pearly Gates.
Do you think the Marines threw another beating on him or just laughed and pointed in the other direction?
Hopefully they gave him repeated kicks to the nuts, face, rib cage and kidneys before the floor dropped out from under him.
May he rot in hell for eternity.
BZ!
Yeah, lets all squeak out a tear for poor old Don Harvey.
Riiiiiight.
AMF.
