2014 Celebrity Death: Rubin "Hurricaine" Carter Died April 20 At The Age Of 76


Midnight Man

The boxer, who spent 19 years in prison for a wrongfully convicted triple homicide, died April 20 at 76 of prostate cancer. During his brief career, Carter recorded 27 wins, 12 losses and one draw in 40 fights before he was incarcerated in 1967 for three murders despite a lack of physical evidence and improper handling of the investigation by police. He was convicted again in 1976 during a new trial and was finally released in 1985. During the second trial, Bob Dylan penned the song "Hurricane," insisting that Carter was innocent. Denzel Washington won a Golden Globe and earned an Oscar nomination for portraying Carter in the 1999 film The Hurricane.
