Actor Skylar Deleon has been sentenced to death for murdering Arizona couple Tom and Jackie Hawks.

The former child star and Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers actor has been convicted of chaining the couple to the anchor of the luxury yacht they were trying to sell him and throwing them overboard in 2004. Their bodies have never been found.

Deleon then claimed the boat as his own.

His lawyer pleaded for a life sentence, but the jury chose to serve up the most severe penalty.

Orange County Superior Court Judge Frank F. Fasel imposed the death sentence recommended on Friday.

DeLeon was also convicted in the 2003 killing of Jon Jarvi.
