One hour after a convicted child rapist and murderer died at the Elmira Correctional Facility earlier this month, the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Service reports a second inmate passed away.
Robert Fisher, who admitted to raping and murdering a three-year-old girl he was babysitting in her home, died on October 10th. How he died has not been revealed and at last word, an autopsy was being performed on his body.
Now, the Department of Corrections says 59-year-old William Brand was pronounced dead one hour after Fisher was found dead. Brand was found guilty in Franklin County of course of sexual conduct against a child and had just started to serve his 10-year prison sentence.
The cause of his death is still being investigated by the Monroe County Medical Examiner’s Office.
