U.S police have confirmed the death of an Army reservist accused of spraying a bowling alley and bar with gunfire in Lewiston, Maine, killing 18 people.

Maine Public Safety Commissioner Mike Sauschuck said the man was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in a recycling plant trailer after a 48-hour manhunt.

The governor of Maine, Janet Mills stated that the body of Robert R. Card, was discovered yesterday night at a recycling plant in Lisbon Falls where he worked at one point, less than a mile from where police had found his abandoned getaway vehicle.

Sauschuck said officers had cleared the plant twice in the course of their search, as they believed Card had some employment relation to the business, but had missed the extra parking lot, where about 60 box trailers full of crushed plastic and metal were parked.
