Convicted murderer found dead in apartment
COLUMBUS - The Columbus Dispatch is reporting that a man found dead in his Columbus apartment while a 4-year-old boy sat there alone was convicted of aggravated murder in Montgomery County in the 1980s.
Police identified Henry L. Reynolds Monday through fingerprints, according to The Dispatch. Officers arrived at the apartment Saturday after the complex’s manager was notified of a foul odor.
They found Reynold’s body and his 4-year-old son alive and alone. The boy was unharmed but was taken to Nationwide Children’s Hospital to be checked out.
It is unclear what caused Reynold’s death as the Franklin County Coroner’s Office said his autopsy was inconclusive, according to The Dispatch. There were no signs of foul play and toxicology reports are pending.
Reynolds was in prison from 1987 until 2002 after he was convicted on charges of aggravated murder and aggravated burglary in Montgomery County and a kidnapping charge from Cuyahoga County, the Dispatch reported.
