COLUMBUS, Ohio - An Ohio death row inmate who survived an attempt to execute him by lethal injection in 2009 died Monday of possible complications of COVID-19, the state prisons system said.
At the time of the 2009 procedure, condemned prisoner Romell Broom was only the second inmate nationally to survive an execution after they began in modern times.
Broom, 64, has been placed on the "COVID probable list" maintained by the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, spokesperson Sara French said Tuesday. Inmates on that list are suspected to have died of COVID-19, pending a death certificate, she said.

How much pain did his victim suffer?
Not enough . . .
Broom was sentenced to die for raping and killing 14-year-old Tryna Middleton.
Romell Broom, We Hardly Knew Ye!
COVID? or God posting His verdict?
For executions bullets are cheap. Death by injection is just a scam to get doctors and the drug companies involved.
Cue Seinfeld “That’s a shame.”
Covid destroyed the flu and death from old age,now its killing death row inmates? I like this covid more and more everyday.
“possible complications” (ie. They can’t actually establish a link and he died of something else)
Daughter’s rape, killing in 1984 haunts parents https://www.dispatch.com/article/20090913/NEWS/309139559
His first rape of a child was in 1975!
“No suitable vein?”
Inject it straight into his evil brain after drilling a hole with a Black & Decker.
An axe and a tree stump never fails as an execution method. It’s pretty cheap too.
A man once drilled seven holes in his head and lived. He committed suicide by drilling eight holes in his head.
They could save more money by using a .22 caliper weapon.
I worked in a big city ER for years.Like most such ERs we had our share of junkies.The physicians and nurses often allowed them to start their own IVs because only they could find a vein.Even battle hardened ER nurses...the *experts* in such things...sometimes couldn’t do it.
And a dull bit......................
What, no phlebotomist on duty...? /s
If you need an IV started in a hurry you want an experienced big city ER nurse doing it.
I was one of those phlebotomists who allowed junkies to draw their own blood LOL. You wouldn’t believe the gymnastic maneuvers they would perform to access veins in different parts of their bodies.
