Scott Thomas Erskine (December 22, 1962 – July 3, 2020)[1] was an American serial killer on California's death row, convicted in 2003 for the 1993 murder of two California boys. He was incarcerated at San Quentin State Prison.
In 2020, Erskine became one of a dozen California death row inmates to die in the span of less than two months as the result of a COVID-19 outbreak at San Quentin State Prison.[2] He died on the same day as fellow death row inmate Manuel Machado Alvarez, who also died from COVID-19.[3]
