Police in the United States have confirmed that the man suspected of carrying out a deadly shooting at an Ivy League university has been found deceased.
Suspect Discovered in Storage Facility
The suspect in the Brown University shooting in Providence, Rhode Island, was located on Thursday night. Authorities stated the 48-year-old Portuguese national was found dead in a storage facility in Salem, New Hampshire.
According to sources from Sky News' US partner NBC News, the death appears to be the result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. A senior official involved in the case indicated that the individual "may have been dead for a bit of time" before discovery.
Details of the Campus Attack
The tragic incident unfolded on Saturday inside a classroom building at the prestigious university. The attack resulted in the deaths of two students and left at least eight others injured.
Local police held a news conference in Providence to announce the development in the case, bringing a grim resolution to the manhunt for the perpetrator.
Potential Link to Second Murder Case
In a disturbing twist, investigators are now examining a possible connection between the university attacker and the murder of a professor in Boston. A source familiar with the matter, speaking to Reuters, revealed that police are looking into a link to the killing of 47-year-old Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) professor Nuno Loureiro.
That murder occurred just two days after the campus shooting, raising serious questions about the suspect's motives and movements in the interim period.
The investigation remains active as authorities work to piece together the full sequence of events and establish any definitive connection between the two violent crimes. This remains a developing story, and further updates are expected.
