Convicted murderer, Alva Campbell, who survived an attempted execution by injection just four months ago died in his cell.

The death-row inmate in Ohio had avoided his execution for 20 years. When the time finally came on Nov. 15, a vein could not be successfully tapped to administer the lethal injection and the execution was abandoned.
