A second inmate has died from an attack by another inmate last week at Corcoran’s state prison, officials said Wednesday.
Graham De Luis-Conti, 62, was pronounced dead on Sunday at an outside hospital, three days after authorities said he was attacked at California Substance Abuse Treatment Facility and State Prison.

Jonathan Watson
They said Jonathan Watson, 41, used a walking cane to cause multiple head wounds to both victims. David Bobb, 48, died en route to the hospital.

Both Victims Serving Life Sentences

Both victims were serving life prison sentences for aggravated sexual assault of a child under 14 years old.
Watson has served 10 years of a life sentence from Humboldt County for first-degree murder and discharging a firearm causing great bodily injury or death.
The prison houses more than 5,400 inmates and specializes in substance abuse treatment.
