Want To Play A Prank On A Death Row Inmate?

As he attempts to commit suicide just days before his execution in Ohio, tell him his pardon from the governor just came through, just before he goes unconscious. 
From the New York Daily News:
A man condemned to death for fatally stabbing a neighbor during a Cleveland burglary was found hanged in his cell Sunday just days before his Wednesday execution.
Billy Slagle, 44, was found at about 5 a.m. at the Chillicothe Correctional Institution south of Columbus and was declared dead within the hour, prison spokeswoman JoEllen Smith said.
“He was in his cell alone. No other inmates suspected to be involved,” Smith said in an email. “It does appear to be a suicide.”
Under regular prison policy, he was scheduled to be placed under pre-execution watch Sunday morning but “was not yet placed under constant watch,” Smith said.

Well, maybe they can send the execution drugs they were to use on this thug, to Texas, where they are running low execution drugs.  Maybe that can be his legacy.
