Jake Gardner, the man accused of manslaughter in the death of 22-year-old James Scurlock, has died by suicide.
Multiple sources close to the investigation confirmed the news to KETV NewsWatch 7 on Sunday. Officials said Gardner's body was found in the morning in Portland, Oregon, and that he did not leave a note.
Police in Oregon released the following information: "At about 12:20 p.m., Hillsboro Police Department officers responded to the 300 block of Southeast Ninth Avenue after a body was found outside a medical clinic. They discovered 38-year-old Jacob Gardner of Omaha, Nebraska, dead."
Gardner's attorney, Stu Dornan, said Gardner was scheduled to return to Omaha Sunday evening.
"The family of Jake Gardner has asked Tom Monaghan and myself to share the news of his death today, at his own hand," he said.
Dornan said Gardner was a decorated veteran of multiple tours in Iraq, saying he suffered two traumatic brain injuries. Gardner said he felt like he was in a war zone the night of Scurlock's death, Dornan said.

John Batchelor....the first three reports on big stories are usually
wrong....
Prayers for that poor man. BLM and the DA killed him as surely as if they had done it with their own hands.
I would kill myself before submitting to racial rape and abuse for 10 years too. Who wouldn’t?

This dear vet.
My prayers go out to him/his family.
This is what he gets (treatment) for fighting for this country and our freedoms.
Shame on this DA for appointing a special prosecutor, then an indicting GJ.
Beyond reprehensible.
PTSD
I would argue PTSD started the downward spiral. Phony baloney murder charges was the last straw.
Prayers for this veteran and his family.
Explain who’s who.
The rioters started the conflict with the victim and his father, and the citizen fired 2 warning shorts to break it up. A rioter jumped on the citizen from behind, and the citizen reached behind and shot the rioter. Obvious self defense, until the political pressure was put on, and the case was fed to a grand jury.
This is “justice” in America today.
Wait a minute. How did he get to Portland when he was in Ohio?
There hasn’t been any ‘justice’ in America for a long time, just a very selective legal system.
Ok, scratch my prior post.
Death by anarcho-tyranny.
This dear vet.
My prayers go out to him/his family.

Grrrr. Too bad Mack Bolan was a fictional character. He always took care of injustice. I remember reading those novels when I was a young Marine. May there be thousands of sons of Mack Bolan in the near future.
This is the thanks he gets for helping keep this country free
