The man who found a 42-year-old former American swimming champ dead last week was convicted in the 2007 beating death of a Pennsylvania man, sources say.
Virgin Islands police have declined to comment on his identity or what responding officers observed regarding the condition of Cail, who they say was transported by her boyfriend to a clinic and "dead on arrival."

Court records show Thomas spent years fighting the 2007 case in court and succeeded in having first-degree murder charges dismissed – however he was convicted on lesser charges, along with three other men, in an attack outside a Cruz Bay bar that left 21-year-old James "Jamie" Cockayne dead.
