John Couey, convicted of killing 9-year-old Jessica Lunsford, had died of cancer, according to Jessie's grandfather, Archie Lunsford.
"We got a call from the warden this morning," said Lunsford.
Mark's mother, Ruthie, said this "is the best news she has heard."
Couey, 51, had been in Florida State Prison near Jacksonville.
He died 11:15 a.m. today at a Jacksonville hospital, state Department of Corrections spokeswoman Gretl Plessinger said.
"So far, no one has claimed his body," she said. "If no one claims it, he'll be buried in an inmate cemetery at Union Correctional Institution in Starke."

From a long ago, high school Asian history class regarding the execution of opium dealers:
They dug a hole deep enough that, if he fully extended himself, his toes would touch the ground, and wide enough so that if he fully extended his arms and hands, he could just brush the sides. No touch fore and aft.
Then they hung him in the hole with a slip knotted rope around his neck, and let him decide how long he wanted to live.
That works for me in cases like this.
What did the toilet do to deserve that mistreatment?
Rot in hell.
And the family members who helped him get out of town after the murder of precious Jessica can follow him to hell.
Death was too good for this bastard. He needed to be tortured and ripped limb by limb in downtown Oraldno by 4 horses.
He died about 46 years too late.
Amen. The suffering that “man” caused is immeasurable.
Nor have I lost a child but I have known mothers who have. It is never “over”...all the rest of your days are coloured with grief. Joy is never as bright or joyful again. My heart goes out to this family and I remember the pain in her father’s eyes. It was haunting.
Feed it to pigs
That’s Mark Lunsford, Jessica’s dad.
Here's the worm-feeding perp...
Regardless of what happens to this scum’s body, he has now had to face the ultimate judge and I do not believe his eternal sentence will be a light one.
Thanks, I had two graphics and clicked on the wrong one.....SORRY !
But, even worse, not just to lose a child, but to know your child suffered. I do not know how one ever puts one’s head on a pillow, close your eyes, and goes to sleep peacefully ever again...with that memory. Knowing you were not there to protect your child.
Funny, he looks far older than his 51 years, and I’m betting this photo is about 4 years older than that. I guess being consumed with so much evil will do that to a person, a visible manifestation of a spiritual and psychological wasteland.
I'm hoping they gave him sugar pills because Couey buried poor Jessica alive...

God did what the state didn’t have the guts to do.
You better believe it.
