Notorious suspected Craigslist killer, Philip Markoff, died this weekend in Boston after what is being called a jail-cell suicide. An autopsy performed shortly after the alleged Craigslist killer died reveals Philip Markoff, 24, may have died from stab wounds to major arteries in the neck and leg.

According to People Magazine, the former med student and suspected Craigslist killer killed himself inside his jail cell while awaiting trial for murder and armed robbery charges. His trial was set to begin in March of next year. See a photo of the late Craigslist killer suspect, Philip Markoff, right here.

Craigslist Killer Dies From Self-Inflicted Stab Wounds, Suffocation

Suffocation may have finished the suspected Craigslist killer off, as reports on People Magazine's web site indicate Markoff also put a plastic bag around his head during his successful jailhouse suicide attempt. Authorities say the Craigslist killer died sometime overnight or early Sunday morning, and his body was found limp in his cell sometime before 10:00 a.m.

A former Boston U med student, Philip Markoff was accused of murder in the case of Julissa Brisman, armed robbery in the case of another woman, and suspected in a number of other open cases following his MO. The Craigslist killer earned his nickname because he allegedly hunted for his victims on the popular social exchange site.

Police allege that Philip Markoff, dubbed the Craigslist killer, would lure women to Boston hotels and then assault, and in some cases, kill them.

Tucson resident Sean Thomason said he feels this proves something about Philip Markoff actually being the Craigslist killer. "I don't know an innocent man who wouldn't be willing to at least exhaust all options in terms of saving his own skin. To me, this is as good as a jury conviction. It's too bad for his family, but he knew he was caught."
