A 44-year-old drifter suspected of murdering his parents in Canoga Park last February died in the prison ward of County-USC Medical Center, authorities said. His death, they said, came about 10 hours after he complained of abdominal pains in Los Angeles Central Jail, where he has been held while awaiting trial. Coroner’s officials planned to conduct an autopsy to determine what caused the death of Robert Spitz, but the Sheriff’s Department said there were no signs of foul play.
