Suspected Brown U shooter was dead for two days when found

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 determines.

Authorities found Claudio Neves Valente dead at a New Hampshire storage facility on Thursday night.

New Hampshire’s attorney general announces that Neves Valente, a Portuguese national who had been living in the US, 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.
