HOUSTON — A man who had been on Texas' death row for nearly 30 years after being convicted in the killings of his girlfriend and her two sons has died of natural causes, a spoke-man for the state prison system said. Henry 'Hank' Skinner, 60, died Thursday at a hospital in Galveston, said Texas Department of Criminal Justice spokesman Robert Hurst. Skinner's attorneys said he died from complications following surgery in December to remove a brain tumor. He had been scheduled to be executed Sept. 13.
