One of the men charged with robbing a woman of her jewelry as she lay dying in a Toronto hospital, says he has a "good heart."

Isaac Lewkowitz was arrested Wednesday night and charged with theft, conspiracy and drug possession. He is also charged with failure to comply with the terms of his probation.

On his Facebook page, which contains numerous spelling and grammatical errors, he says that "until two months ago the bad of me was much more then the good. today im happy to say that all the bad of me was left behind, and a new person is here to stay for good :)."

Police say Lewkowitz, 29, entered Toronto's East General Hospital on Tuesday evening along with 26-year-old Marcos Marinoni.

The pair then allegedly made their way to the palliative care unit and stole approximately $7,000 worth of jewelry from the bedside of an elderly woman who was lying unconscious in her hospital bed. The woman died a short time later.

The crime shocked the city and police released security images of Lewkowitz and Marinoni walking through the hospital.

In the personal information section of his Facebook page, Lewkowitz says he is in school "working on my GED to get a high school diploma .." He says he has "a good heart witch somtimes gets me in truble."

Police say the pair may have carried out similar crimes in other Toronto-area hospitals.

Marinoni remains at large.
