Ford would
have still been on death row if not for a confidential informant who told
police in 2013 that someone else confessed to him about the murder that Ford
was accused of committing. Lawyer and friend William Most told ABC News Ford
was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer several months after being released from
the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola. Most said that it quickly
progressed to stage 4 and spread to his bones.
"He was
a really inspirational person and ... I'd even heard that he inspired people
that had no connection to him," Most told ABC News.
