An Alabama man suspected of strangling his girlfriend died of an apparent heart attack while disposing of her body.
The victim's brother says it was 'karma.'
Last month, Daniel Robbins allegedly murdered Jessica Fold in Chambers County, Alabama. Police say he dragged her body into the woods and suddenly collapsed and died.
Fold's brother, Jason Walters, told TMZ that karma caught up with Robbins. 'The lord works in mysterious ways,' he said.
Chambers County Sheriff Jeff Nelson agreed, saying Robbins was 'ultimately tried and judged by the man above.'
He added, 'If you're a believer, that's the only way you can look at it.'
The sheriff noted that Robbins used his bare hands to strangle Fold.
He believes the emotional and physical exertion was too much for Robbins' heart, as he suffered from heart disease.
Law enforcement is awaiting autopsy results to determine the exact cause of Robbins' death.
On June 10, deputies responded to a wooded area after two drivers called 911. They found an empty pickup truck stopped in the middle of the road.
One driver spotted two bodies in the forest about 15 yards away.
Deputies found Robbins lying dead in a fetal position next to Fold's body. An autopsy confirmed Fold was strangled.
Robbins had no trauma, indicating a heart attack rather than violence.
