Vincent Willis
Vincent Willis, 59, died at the Dick Conner Correctional Center in Hominy, Oklahoma, on August 26, 2023. Staff found him dead in his cell during the early morning count, and an offender death report obtained through the Oklahoma Open Records Act lists natural causes as the suspected cause, saying he died overnight in his sleep. The state medical examiner declined to take his body for an autopsy. Advocates and Oklahoma Watch have raised questions about whether extreme heat in the facility contributed to his death.
