(KAIR)--A longtime Atchison resident, spending life behind bars for slashing the throat of a Buchanan County, Missouri convenience store clerk, has died.

The obituary for 43-year-old Sean Cave says he died unexpectedly Friday due to heart complications at the Cameron, Missouri Regional Medical Center.

In October of 2008, Cave, 38-years-old at the time, pleaded guilty to charges of first degree robbery, assault with a serious injury and armed criminal action. That stemmed from the June 2008 attack at the former Stop and Go convenience store location in Winthrop, Missouri, just east of Atchison, Kansas.

The victim, then 19-year-old Kimberly Dejonge, of Atchison, survived the attack.

Cave was being held at the Crossroads Correctional Center in Cameron, Missouri.

He's survived by his two children as well as his mother and father, Jim and Linda Cave, of Atchison.

Funeral services will be Friday afternoon at Atchison's Becker-Dyer-Stanton Funeral Home.
