(CNN) -- Danny Harold Rolling, Florida's most notorious serial killer since Ted Bundy, died singing.
He was executed by injection Wednesday evening for the grisly murders of five college students during a 1990 spree that terrorized the college town of Gainesville, Florida.
Rolling, 52, was pronounced dead at 6:13 p.m., said Robby Cunningham, a spokesman for the Florida Department of Corrections.
"Mr. Rolling sang a song," he told reporters. "It was almost hymnal."

The prisons spokesman added that he would call the hymn " 'None greater than thee, Lord' because that was the hook."
Asked if he had any last words, Rolling said he did and then broke into the hymn, said witness Stephen Stock, of WESH-TV in Orlando.
Although prison officials eventually turned off the sound system, Rolling continued talking and singing for about two minutes. As the chemicals took effect, his breathing became labored and stopped, Stock said.
Relatives of Rolling's victims said they did not pay attention to his hymn.
Rolling's killing spree began in August 1990, when he broke into three apartments in Gainesville belonging to five students.
The bodies of Sonja Larson, 18, and Christina Powell, 17, were found at a townhouse they shared near the University of Florida campus.

Christa Hoyt, 18, who attended a local community college, was found decapitated the next morning at her apartment. Tracy Paules and Manny Taboada, both 23, were discovered dead a day later in the apartment they shared.
Bodies were posed

All were stabbed and slashed to death with a hunting knife. Three of the victims were sexually assaulted and all of the bodies were left posed; one victim's severed head was found on a shelf.
