Robert Card, wanted for the shootings at Schemengees Bar and Grille and at Just-In-Time Recreation bowling alley, died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, Maine Department of Public Safety Commissioner Mike Sauschuck said at a news briefing late Friday.

Card’s body was found at 7:45 p.m. near the Androscoggin River in Lisbon Falls, Sauschuck said. Officials declined to provide an estimated time of death.

“Now is a time to heal,” Maine Gov. Janet Mills said at the briefing Friday night. “And with this search concluded, I know that law enforcement continues to fully investigate all the facts so we can bring what closure we can to the victims and their families.”
