Ronald Stewart

died 2008 · Florida

Ronald Stewart died of cancer in 2008 while held in a Florida prison, about a year after he was moved there. In 2019, Broward County prosecutors said he was not responsible for a 1983 death, after a letter and DNA testing pointed to another man who had already been executed in Arkansas. Officials said the record should be corrected even though Stewart had died. Nothing about his family or the people who knew him is recorded here.

Cause of death, as reported: Died of illness. The record says he died of cancer in 2008 while held in a prison, with no source named for that cause.
