Scott Roeder, the 51-year-old Kansas man who authorities have detained as the only suspect in the shooting of late-term abortion practitioner George Tiller, may have suffered from mental illness.

I thought Roeder was still alive. Why is this in the past tense?

No, the past tense seems to refer to the mental illness. Just because someone was mentally ill a decade ago does not mean they still are.
