His words turned out to be prophetic. On the afternoon of March 28, 2017, Harvey was found beaten unconscious in his cell at the Toledo Correctional Institution. The wounds were the result of blunt force trauma without a weapon, and the assailant was believed to be another inmate. Both killer and victim were said by prison spokesmen to have been in a protective custody unit. Harvey died two days later without regaining consciousness at Mercy Health–St. Vincent Medical Center in Toledo. He was sixty-four years of age—about thirty years short of his first possible parole date.
