A man who killed six members of a Nebraska family nearly 50 years ago has died after complaining about chest pain. Erwin Charles Simants was 77.
At retrial he was found not responsible by reason of insanity. He was diagnosed as schizophrenic and spent the rest of his life at a state psychiatric hospital.
In Simants’ last competency evaluation in December, a judge ruled that he was still considered mentally ill and dangerous.
