Officer Rowe succumbed to injuries received when he was attacked by several inmates who were attempting to escape from the Federal Metropolitan Correctional Center in San Diego, California. Office Rowe entered a cell where he discovered the inmates attempting to escape through the cell window. The inmates attacked him and struck him in the head with debris which they removed from around the window, knocking him unconscious. The men then shoved him under the cell bed, where he was located by other officers who began searching for him. Officer Rowe never regained consciousness.
He was survived by two children.
