A man on death row for the 1995 murder of his ex-wife's husband has died of natural causes.
State prison officials say 60-year-old Lawrence Bergman died Friday at a hospital in Northern California. No further details about his cause of death were available.
Bergman had been serving time in San Quentin State Prison since he was sentenced to death in 1997 for the murder of Edwin Stark.
Bergman's ex-wife married Stark, who was ambushed in the living room of his house. He was handcuffed, bludgeoned and stabbed and his arms were broken.
His body later was found in a field.
Bergman and his son, Edward, were tried for the slaying. Both were convicted of murder. The son is serving life in prison without parole.
