Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker achieved a certain notoriety before being
shot to death in 1934. Officially, Bonnie Parker was named Mrs. Roy
Thornton. At the time, Roy Thornton was unavailable to fulfill his wife's
needs since he was in prison for robbery. Bonnie had his name tatooed on her
thigh.

Does anyone know if he still lives, or, if not, when he died?

I worked with him many, many years ago, and he was ancient then. Never
believed his story about being "Mr. Bonnie Parker", until I finally heard it
from several other people.
I'm certain he must be dead now.

He died, in 1937. He and 2 other inmates were shot by a prison guard whilst a whole group of them were making a break for it !
