Suspect in Brown University shooting and MIT professor’s killing had been dead for 2 days when found, autopsy determines
The man suspected in last weekend’s attack at Brown University and the fatal shooting of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor days later had been dead for two days when found, an autopsy determined.
Authorities found Claudio Neves Valente dead at a New Hampshire storage facility on Thursday night.
New Hampshire’s attorney general announced Friday that Neves Valente, a Portuguese national who had been living in the U.S., died on Tuesday, the same day that his countryman, MIT professor Nuno F.G. Loureiro died at a hospital.
Authorities believe that after killing two students and wounding nine others at Brown last Saturday, Neves Valente shot Loureiro at his Boston-area home on Monday night.
Neves Valente and Loureiro had attended the same school in the 1990s, though authorities haven’t said why they think he killed the professor.
