A man who tortured and attempted to kill a woman he met on a dating app has shot himself dead following a standoff with police.
Suspect Benjamin Obadiah Foster, 36, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound on Tuesday night just hours after being taken into custody in Grants Pass, Oregon, US, a police spokesperson said.
Foster barricaded himself under a house as officers from four agencies concentrated in the area, set up a command post and assembled a SWAT team while attempting to secure his surrender beginning Tuesday afternoon.
