Suspect in University Killings Died Days Before Discovery, Autopsy Reveals

The man wanted for two killings near Boston universities likely died by suicide days before police found his body. This new information comes from a recently released autopsy report. The suspect was the focus of a massive, week-long search in October. He was wanted for the shooting death of a Brown University student and the killing of an MIT professor. His body was finally discovered inside a rented storage unit in New Hampshire. The medical examiner has now concluded that he died shortly after the crimes, not just before the discovery. This finding means the suspect was already dead for most of the intense police search. The case is now closed.
