Lakeview, NY (WBEN) Buffalo Police confirm Dr. Timothy Jorden, the person of interest in the shooting death of Jacqueline Wisniewski, has been found dead near his home in Lakeview.

Buffalo Deputy Police Commissioner Charles Tomaszewski said Jorden was found in a densely wooded area by New York State Paroile Officers. who had been assisting in the search.

There had been a nationwide manhunt for Jorden, sought for questioning in the Wednesday shooting inside the Miller Building at ECMC.

A good outcome to a terrible tragedy. His suicide will save a huge amount of money in a police manhunt and his subsequent trial and incarceration. I do suggest that an autospsy include a detailed examination of his brain...but please hire someone competent to do this. It is clear that the Erie County medical examiner's office has been proven incompetent by their past actions.

saves on a trial
At least the guy did the right thing and took himself out of the equation. No expensive trial to fill the lawyers pockets. Cambria and Daniels must be in mourning for their pockets.

woundS?
"self-inflicted gunshot wounds" as in more than one? exactly how many times did he have to shoot himself? i guess 1 wasn't enough?

Comments? What for?
What could a rabid bunch of homebound low-information Limbaugh followers possibly add that would be of value? Hint: racism does not increase value.

My theory:
I have thought about this heartbreaking tragedy and have come to my own conclusion, which is: Dr. Jorden attempted to take his ex with him and leave town or the country..she resisted and he shot her. I believe he had the gun to threaten her to leave with him, not to kill her initially. This would explain his plan of escape, money withdrawal, etc. And also would explain his suicide as things didn't go the way he intended. I could be way off on this, but it does make sense. So very sad for all, but especially the child.
