Officials have identified the person found dead inside the Tesla Cybertruck that exploded outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on New Year’s Day as a US Army soldier from Colorado, and say he died by suicide in the vehicle before the blast.
“The individual had sustained a gunshot wound to the head prior to the detonation of the vehicle,” Las Vegas Sheriff Kevin McMahill told reporters at a news conference on Thursday, citing findings from the coroner’s office.
