 Dad convicted of killing daughter during weekend visitation found dead in jail cell (Bowden, Alberta, Canada) DastardlyDads

Police "say" there was no evidence of foul play, but it's hard to imagine that some sort of jailhouse justice wasn't at work here. Dad GERALD MAYHEW was convicted of murdering his 15-year-old daughter during a weekend visitation with her father.

BOWDEN -- An Alberta man who was serving a life sentence for killing his 15-year-old daughter has been found dead in his prison cell.

Gerald Mayhew was being held at the Bowden Institution in central Alberta.

Police say there were no signs of foul play, but the cause of the 51-year-old man's death has not been determined.

Mayhew was convicted of second-degree murder in 1998 after his daughter's body was found at his home the year before.

The girl's mother, who was divorced from Mayhew, called police when her daughter failed to return from a weekend with her father.
