Actor Woody Harrleson's father has died in prison in Colorado at age 69 while serving a sentence for murdering a federal judge.

Harrelson was in the midst of serving two life sentences, and it appears he died of a heart attack in his sleep.

Harrelson had always denied the murder of U.S. District Judge John Wood outside his San Antonio, Texas home in May 1979. Prosecutors said drug dealers paid him $250,000 to assassinate Wood so he would not preside over a trial.
