The Florida Department of Corrections says Angel Luis Rivera died Wednesday at the Central Florida Reception Center in Orlando.

A cause of death wasn’t immediately released.

Rivera and his son, Christopher Otero-Rivera, were convicted in April of second-degree murder, abuse of a body and evidence tampering in the killing of Nicole Montalvo.

Montalvo disappeared on Oct. 21, 2019, after dropping the couple’s 8-year-old son off at the Rivera home.

During the trial, prosecutors said both men wanted Montalvo to “disappear” so they could get custody of the young boy.
