The Arizona Department of Corrections reports the death of a Mohave County convict serving a life prison sentence for a first-degree murder in Bullhead City. The agency said that Sean King, 41, died Thursday, Jan. 4, from “an act of self-harm by hanging” at the Arizona State Prison Complex-Eyman in Florence.
A news release indicated that prison staff performed initial life-saving efforts when King was discovered in an unresponsive state in his housing unit. “Responding paramedics in consultation with medical staff from Mountain Vista Medical Center pronounced King deceased,” the release said.
King began serving time following his conviction for the suspected drug-related murder of Kiera Wolf, 18, Bullhead City. Wolf suffered multiple stab wounds in her torso and her body was recovered from a desert ravine north of Black Mountain Road.
Her murder wasn’t drug related. One of his 2 co conspirators thought she was trying to steal her man. They took her to the desert & slaughtered her. Her best friend was like my adopted daughter. He also robbed me at gun point that December. Took the cowards way out. Glad he is gone, now Kiera can rest in peace.
