Individual Accused in Ivy League Campus Incident Located Deceased Inside Storage Facility.
The individual believed to be the weekend's fatal shooting incident at Brown University reportedly died by suicide on Thursday evening, according to officials.
His body was discovered at a storage location on Thursday evening, according to information from an enforcement source. The same individual is also believed of the murder of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor at a home in the Boston area.
“He took his own life this evening,” announced the head of the Providence police department during a press conference.
The chief named the deceased man as Claudio Nevis Valenti, a 48-year-old student at Brown University.
This development comes after a significant police presence at a storage facility in Salem, New Hampshire earlier on Thursday. Witnesses described seeing multiple agents in tactical gear entering the premises.
The manhunt for the perpetrator had resumed on Monday after the attorney general's office announced that a individual detained on Sunday had been released. This development was admitted to be likely to cause fresh anxiety for the local community.
Local officials noted that while the release was a setback, the broader investigation continued unabated.
The two students who were killed in the attack have been identified. They are Ella Cook, a sophomore from Alabama who was active in a campus political group, and MukhammadAziz Umurzokov, an Uzbek national in his first year who aspired to a neurosurgeon.
Authorities are expected to hold a press conference to deliver further details on the suspect's death.
