Timothy Dunivan, 61, was found dead on the morning of March 29, 2014, at the James Crabtree Correctional Center in Helena, Oklahoma. Department of Corrections spokesman Jerry Massie said he was killed by another person held at the facility with a homemade knife. An Oklahoma Medical Examiner's Office report later listed his cause of death as multiple sharp force injuries and the manner as homicide. His daughter, Sheryl Coleman, said he was brutally attacked, that the family did not learn it was a homicide until several days after his death, and that she wants the people responsible held accountable. As of March 2015, an affidavit had been sent to the Alfalfa County District Attorney's Office, and no decision on charges had been announced.
