An infamous serial killer, Joshua Wade, who confessed to the murders of five individuals in Alaska, passed away in an Indiana prison at the age of 44. The Indiana Department of Correction confirmed that Wade was found unresponsive in his cell on June 14 and despite efforts to revive him, he was pronounced dead. An autopsy is scheduled to determine the cause of death.
Wade's criminal history dates back to when he was just 14 years old. He was convicted of various state and federal crimes in 2010 and was serving his sentence at a maximum-security prison in Alaska. In 2014, Wade reached an agreement to be transferred to a federal prison in Indiana after admitting to additional murders.
