A woman sentenced to spend life in prison for the murders of her husband and boyfriend committed suicide, authorities said Wednesday.
Lynn Turner’s body was found Aug. 30 in her bed in her cell at Metro State Prison in Atlanta. The initial autopsy was inconclusive.
John Bankhead, spokesman for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, said Wednesday morning that Turner used a blood pressure medicine to take her life.
“She was prescribed the medication and apparently, the theory is, she just hoarded them and took a bunch at one time,” Bankhead said.
According to a statement from Kris Sperry, the state’s chief medical examiner, Turner overdosed on propranolol.
