Phil Spector, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee who in April 2009 was convicted of murdering actress
Lana Clarkson, died Saturday night in prison custody, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said in a Sunday morning news release. He was 81, sources indicate, though the official press release said he was 80.
The Department of Corrections said Spector died “of natural causes” at 6:35 p.m. Saturday “at an outside hospital” near Stockton, Calif. A medical examiner will determine the official cause of death.

Spector died Saturday of natural causes, said the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. The medical examiner in the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office will investigate his death, the department said.
