Sought-after blast suspect found dead in Swedish harbor
STOCKHOLM – The tenant who is suspected in the huge Swedish apartment building explosion and fire last month that injured 16 people was found dead in the water Wednesday, police said, adding that they do not suspect foul play in his death.
The man was found in the harbor of Goteborg, Sweden’s second-largest city, only a few miles from the building that was blown up on Sept. 28. Authorities said he was suspected of attempted murder, arson and general destruction. A manhunt had begun in Sweden and internationally for him.
“It’s nice that he has been found now, although we had hoped that he would be alive,” senior police officer Anders Borjesson said.
