Patrick Schroeder
(KLZA)-- A former Pawnee City resident who was on death row at the state prison in Tecumseh has died.
45-year-old Patrick Schroeder died Monday. Officials say a cause of death has not been determined.
Schroeder was first convicted of killing 75-year-old Pawnee City farmer Kenneth Albers in 2006. In 2017 Schroeder admitted to killing his cellmate, Terry Berry by strangling him. Schroeder said Berry was too talkative.
The state paid Berry's family $479,000 to settle a lawsuit that alleged the state was responsible for Berry's death because they put him in a cell with Schroeder.
Schroeder is the fifth death row inmate to die while awaiting execution in Nebraska.
