Craigslist Killer" Phillip Markoff created a ghoulish shrine to his former fiancee before he died, spreading out photos of her on the small table in his cell and scrawling her name in his own blood over his cell door where guards would not easily see it, ABC News has learned.

As previously reported, Markoff had written "Megan" and "pocket" in his blood on the wall. ABC News has learned that it was written above his doorway where he could see it, but correction officers could not easily see it.

he probably died from eating a Hot Pocket.

He was in training to learn how to use his hands to heal and instead used them to kill. A big waste all around.

This whole story is weird from beginning to end.

He used the make-shift blade to slash major arteries in his ankles, legs and neck, including the carotid artery in his neck, Conley said. Clear plastic bags that are available to inmates were used to catch the pooling blood.

He swallowed toilet paper to ensure that he could not be revived, used gauze to tighten another plastic bag over his head, and then pulled the covers over him from head to toe.

He definitely gets points for style.

From Article: "The details of Markoff's death are emerging as Boston officials have begun an investigation into how Markoff, who twice before tried to kill himself, managed to commit suicide while awaiting trial for murder."

I was watching NIGHTLINE last night and it was reported that he had cut his ankles with some kind instrument then tied them in baggies. It appears he bled to death.

P.S. His fiance sure is lucky she didn’t marry him.

Are they sure it was suicide?

I mean, just....wow, talk about a lot of "self effort".

[Tex-Con-Man]

Yikes!

Sounds like he was a little bit pathologist, a little bit drama queen.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Megan’s probably going to have a hard time forgetting him and looking at any man as potentially normal for a long time.

He definitely gets points for style.M

Yep.

What I don't get is unsuccessful suicide attempts. How hard can it be to off yourself? Swallowing a half bottle of aspirin is so lame.

This guy in the article was dead series.

The bastard just had to hurt his ex-fiance one more time on his way out by committing suicide on what would have been their first wedding anniversary, and scrawling her name using his blood.
