Rossi died in a Utah prison after extradition; previously convicted of rape in the US and later faked his death while fleeing authorities.
Nicholas Rossi, 38, who fled to Scotland and was known as Arthur Knight, has died in a Utah hospital from complications of an existing medical condition after discontinuing treatment. He had been serving a 10-years-to-life sentence for rapes in Utah in 2008 and was extradited from Scotland in 2024 after prolonged legal wrangles. The death ends a long, disputed saga surrounding his identity and escapes.
