Who is Joseph Metheny?
Joseph Metheny is convicted of killing two women namely Kimberly Spicer and Cathy Ann Magziner. A Baltimore resident, he was soon pronounced with death sentence, but that was turned to life imprisonment. He was supposed to spend the rest of his life in prison.

Since, there has been an official confirmation from the spokesman for the Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services.
What is the cause of death of Joseph Metheny?
The exact cause of death is yet not known but an enquiry has been initiated. While he was being sentenced, he seemed to be remorseful for what he had done and that he wanted to die, for God to judge him and send him to hell forever. He was sure that he would never be out of prison and that his last days of life would be spent right in the prison itself. His thought process did show that he repented his actions and he was too concerned about his future which he found to be in total darkness due to the heinous activities he has committed in the past.

As per the defense, the attorney from Metheny’s side has confirmed that even though he was a total of five siblings, everyone didn’t love him.
