The man suspected of being the recent deadly violence at Brown University authorities state committed suicide on Thursday night, according to law enforcement.
The discovery was made at a storage facility on Thursday evening, according to information from an official source. The same individual is also suspected of killing a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor at a home in the Boston area.
“He took his own life tonight,” stated the chief of the Providence police department during a press conference.
The police official named the individual as Claudio Nevis Valenti, a 48-year-old student at Brown University.
This development comes after a major law enforcement operation at a storage facility in Salem, New Hampshire earlier on Thursday. Journalists on scene reported seeing multiple agents in tactical gear converging on the premises.

City leadership noted that while the release was a disappointment, the broader investigation continued unabated.
The young victims who were killed in the attack have been identified. They are Ella Cook, a second-year student from Alabama who was served as vice-president for a campus political group, and MukhammadAziz Umurzokov, an Uzbek national in his freshman year who aspired to a neurosurgeon.
Officials are scheduled to hold a news briefing to deliver further details on the suspect's death.
