The man fled out of the back of the house and attempted to evade police by hiding under the home. A robot was deployed to view the crawl space under the home and recorded the man dead by a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The gun was found in his hand.

Inside the home, police discovered the body of the man who had been killed previously.
