A man suspected of killing two people in northern Austria has been found dead. Roland Drexler, 56, was discovered in Upper Austria near the Czech border after a search that began earlier this week. Police believe Drexler took his own life, as a weapon was found near his body. He was wanted after the bodies of a local mayor and a hunter were found on Monday. Drexler's body was located near his car, which was seen by locals. Reports suggest a dispute over hunting law may have led to the shootings.
