WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) - Miami County Coroner, Tom Leedy, confirmed Antonio Williams, one of Jeremy Gibson's alleged murderer, died in prison Monday morning.
Authorities said an ambulance was called out to Miami Correctional Facility Monday morning after the infirmary did x-rays on his chest, and said he may have had a collapsed lung. They rushed him to the ER, where they then pronounced him dead.
Antonio Williams' attorney, Robert Little, said Williams had been in and out of the hospital though he is unsure why. He believes his role in the case will be obsolete now.
There is an autopsy scheduled for Tuesday.
In July, police said the crime started with an argument between Gibson and Williams at 1018 North 8th Street in Lafayette.
Police said 26-year-old Gibson was beaten, then taken to a field in Tippecanoe County where he was beaten again. This time was with a pick axe and shovel, then buried in that field.
Police soon arrested Antonio Williams, Darren Englert and Carol Clear for the crime.
In September, Gibson's family learned that Williams had been released more than a year early from the Indiana Department of Corrections for a prior conviction.
Since then, Gibson's family attorney filed a notice claiming Gibson's murder was a result of wrongful death.
Williams was being held in the Miami Correctional Facility and facing charges of conspiracy to commit murder.
