A jury has recommended the death penalty for Skylar Deleon, a former child actor who appeared on the popular kids' TV series "Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers," Access Hollywood has confirmed.

Last month, Deleon, 29, was convicted of murdering three people, including a couple who were tied to an anchor and thrown off their yacht off the California coast.

Deleon's victims were an Arizona couple - Tom Hawks, 57, and wife Jackie, 47 - who were last seen in November 2004, after setting sail aboard their 55-foot yacht with Deleon, who they believed to be a potential buyer for their boat, according to The Associated Press.

Prosecutors argued Deleon, and two other men, took a test cruise with the couple posing as interested buyers, forced them to sign over ownership of the yacht and then tied their bodies to the boat's anchor and threw their bodies overboard. The bodies of Tom and Jackie Hawks were never recovered.

In addition, Deleon was also found guilty of murdering Anaheim resident Jon Jarvi in 2003, who Deleon met while in a work furlough program while serving jail time for burglary, according to prosecutors.
