The Louisiana Supreme Court upheld that conviction and sentence in September, rejecting claims that his lawyer should have brought up evidence of mental illness. Lee, 47, was sentenced to life for one murder and to death for killing 22-year-old Charlotte Murray Pace, who was stabbed 81 times and bludgeoned with an iron in May 2002. She said an autopsy will determine cause of death. Thursday, Department of Public Safety and Corrections spokeswoman Pam Laborde said in an emailed statement. Lee went to the hospital early Saturday and died shortly before 9 a.m.
