A man believed to be behind both a mass shooting at Brown University and the killing of an MIT professor has been found dead after a days-long manhunt, authorities said on Thursday.

The suspect, Claudio Neves Valente, was a 48-year-old Portuguese national who had once studied physics at Brown, officials announced at press conferences in Providence and Boston.

There was no immediate indication of a motive in the twin shootings at two of the top universities in the United States, which rattled the elite New England campuses.

The shooter's body was found at a storage unit in New Hampshire along with two firearms. He died by suicide, Providence police chief Oscar Perez said.
