LIVINGSTON, Texas (AP) -- A man condemned for the slaying of his ex-girlfriend's mother at her home in Austin six years ago has been found dead in his death row cell.
Texas Department of Criminal Justice spokesman Jason Clark said Wednesday that Selwyn Davis, 30, was found unresponsive on the floor his cell at the Polunsky Unit outside Livingston last Friday.
When he couldn't be revived, he was taken to the prison infirmary and then to a hospital in Livingston.
