    Tennessee death row inmate dies in Nashville prison

    NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A Tennessee death row inmate convicted in 1991 of killing two people after escaping from prison has died, officials said Monday.

    Derrick Quintero, 59, died of apparent natural causes at Riverbend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville on Monday morning, the state Department of Correction said in a news release.

    Quintero and William Hall were convicted in Stewart County in the 1988 slayings of Myrtle and Buford Vester in their home.

    Quintero and Hall were among eight prisoners who had escaped Kentucky State Penitentiary in Eddyville, Kentucky, on June 16, 1988. The Vesters were found shot and stabbed days later. Their car had been stolen. Stewart County is about 55 miles (88 kilometers) south of the prison where they escaped.

    The exact cause of Quintero's death will be determined by a medical examiner, the department said.
