LAS VEGAS (AP) — A twice-convicted murderer who had repeatedly said he wanted to die by lethal injection was found dead in his death-row prison cell from an apparent hanging, officials said Saturday.
Scott Raymond Dozier, 48, was found unresponsive in his solo death-row cell at the state’s maximum-security prison in Ely, Department of Corrections spokeswoman Brooke Santina told The Associated Press.
Dozier’s lawyer, Thomas Ericsson, declined to comment immediately.
Dozier had said repeatedly he wanted to die rather than live the rest of his life in prison. Nevada officials said he tried to kill himself several times after two scheduled lethal injections were postponed.

a judge sentenced Dozier to 22 years in prison for the murder of Jason Greene, who had been attacked with a sledgehammer and stuffed in a plastic tote before being buried in Nevada.
Dozier has said that he didn’t kill Greene. According to The Marshall Project, Dozier returned to his meth trailer where Greene had been staying, only to find him dead. He allegedly buried the body with Joe Wolslager, who would become a witness in the case, to protect his drug operation.
Dozier was also convicted in the 2002 murder of Jeremiah Miller, who police say Dozier shot and dismembered. “His body was mutilated,” a prosecutor told a jury, according to The Marshall Project. “His arms were disarticulated at the elbows. His legs were disarticulated at the knees. His head was removed, and he was cut in half.” Miller’s head was never found.
Sounds like a good suicide, given the information.
Yep, those drugs can be expensive.
No loss here.
We should just go back to hanging.
It’s cheap and reliable.
That’s poetic justice.
Does “disarticulated” mean
torn off?
Sad and sick.
The definition of Criminally Insane.
Even he knew there was no cure for his level of dysfunction.
What a guy, denying his lawyers all the frivolous appeal money they wanted (wanted more than their client’s actual wishes.)
I think that disarticulated might mean ‘boned’, like a chicken.
Each death row cell should have a hangman’s noose and stool in each one—so that those who are guilty can end their own lives if guilt is to painful to live with.
I have sympathy for the murdered victim, of course, but also for the cops who found him in that condition.
Few non military people in this day and age are emotionally prepared to witness such carnage.
I cannot even imagine...
Apparently a hangin' but geez .... I'm not sure ..... better call in the expert journalists.

Meth makes those on it really want to murder people.
More and more the pattern is the same. Hardcore meth users try to get into strangers homes then try to murder anyone and everyone they find in the home, in a real grisly way.
you gotta shoot them until they are dead to stop them.
appears to be a suicide?
or auto erotic asphyxiation.
Putting a death row inmate on suicide watch does seem a bit odd.
LOL!
