The oldest inmate on Georgia’s death row died Tuesday of natural causes, prison officials said.

Son H. Fleming, 72, was sentenced to death in 1977 for the murder of a South Georgia police chief.

The oldest inmate now held under a death sentence is Brandon Astor Jones, 62, who was convicted for the shooting death of a Cobb County gas station manager in 1979. There are 112 men and one woman on death row.
