Body Identified As Suspect In Multiple Slayings

Coroner: Keeling Died Of Self-Inflicted Gunshot Wound

GARY, Indiana -- The Lake County, Ind., coroner says a decomposed body found in Gary Wednesday is that of 43-year-old Melvin Keeling, a suspect in three slayings.

Coroner David Pastrick said that Keeling died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The Loveland Park, Ohio, man was suspected of shooting a 13-year-old girl in her grandmother's Cincinnati-area home Sept. 19.

About four hours later, two convenience store employees were shot and killed at a convenience store in Remington, along Interstate 65 in northwest Indiana.

The body was found about noon Wednesday by children near train tracks about a half-mile from where Keeling's van was found the day after the shootings.
