Man accused of killing a woman at a luxury Southampton resort has been found dead

Oct. 30 (UPI) — The man accused of killing a woman at a luxury Southampton resort has died by suicide, authorities said.

The suspect was identified as Thomas Gannon, 56. Suffolk County police told UPI via email Wednesday that he was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound at his home in Honesdal, Pennsylvania.

He was accused of killing 33-year-old Sabina Rosas, whose body was found at the Shou Sugi Ban House in Water Mill, NY, at 12:30 p.m. local time on Monday

In a statement, Suffolk County police said Rosas' body was found by an employee in a guest room.

“It was determined that the woman was a victim of violence,” the statement said.

Police told ABC 7 that Gannon had checked into the resort with Rosas and was last seen leaving without her.

Rosas' family said in a statement to NBC News that they are “deeply saddened” by Rosas' death but feel a “deep sense of injustice” over Gannon's death.

“The loss of the suspect means we will never know the truth about what happened to her,” the family said.

“This result has deprived us of the opportunity to find a solution through legal channels.”
