Kevin Coe, the South Hill Rapist, died at 78 on Dec. 3, 2025, after being released due to illness following over 40 years in custody.
Kevin Coe, known as the South Hill Rapist, died at age 78 on December 3, 2025, at an adult family home in Federal Way, Washington, according to local officials.
He had been released in October 2025 due to failing health after more than 40 years in custody, including a 25-year prison sentence and civil commitment as a sexually violent predator.
Coe was convicted in 1981 of one count of first-degree rape, though some charges were overturned; he was later reconvicted and committed to McNeil Island’s Special Commitment Center.
His release sparked community opposition, leading to relocations within Federal Way and Auburn.
Authorities believe he died of natural causes.
The news brought mixed reactions, with some survivors expressing relief and calls for reform of the civil commitment system.
