According to the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the man's body was discovered not far from Rhode Island in a warehouse in the north-eastern state of New Hampshire. According to the police, they had tracked him down with the help of video footage from a rented vehicle, followed the trail back and thus obtained the man's personal details.
The gunman shot two people and injured several others at Brown University in the city of Providence on Saturday last week. The university belongs to the so-called Ivy League, a group of renowned elite universities in the north-east of the USA. According to the authorities, the alleged perpetrator studied physics there.
