Purdue shooter Cody Cousins dead by suicide

Source: Lafayette Journal & Courier

Convicted Purdue shooter Cody Cousins was found Tuesday dead by suicide in his Michigan City prison cell.

The Indiana Department of Corrections confirmed the death Wednesday of the man who in January entered a Purdue University classroom and shot and stabbed fellow student Andrew Boldt.

Cousins, 24, was found unresponsive in his cell during a routine security check just before 9 p.m. Tuesday. He was found with self-inflicted lacerations to his neck and both arms. Prison staff attempted to revive Cousins to no avail.

Cousins was declared dead at approximately 9:20 p.m. Tuesday.

No more appeals. No more room/board expense for potentially 60 more years.

Edit: He would have actually been paroled in 2046.

Did he check out because he couldn't live with guilt and enormity of his crime. Or did he exit because he realized that he ruined his life and could face the thought of life in prison? I'm guessing the latter.

It's fun pretending to have absolute knowledge about those things we know very little of.

It's nice that you're dead, Mr Gunhumper, but that should've been Step 1 in your process. You get an F on this assignment, and your transcript is being forwarded to Hell's admin office.

This is why I've been staying away from DU.

I'm not even going to waste my breath explaining to you why and in how many ways that's fucked up to say that.
