He had been jailed for 49 years before an Allegheny County judge granted his request for compassionate release last month.

Bozeman had been on life support. He had a back injury that had been misdiagnosed for several years, according to his lawyer, Dolly Prabhu, and he required extensive medical care after he became paralyzed from the chest down after surgery.

An aide to Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen Zappala, whose office had opposed the release, said they had no comment on Bozeman’s death.

"You're asking if we want to make a statement about the paralyzed prisoner who said he was innocent and said he got paralyzed by substandard prison medical care, and who we just argued wasn't really that sick, who just died? ... No."
