Austin bombing suspect's death ruled a suicide caused by 'shrapnel injuries'

Conditt died from “multiple penetrating shrapnel injuries” from a bomb, Johnson said.

Conditt detonated the bomb inside his vehicle as SWAT officers closed in, Austin police investigators have said.

Earlier this week, police tracked down Conditt at a Round Rock hotel off I-35. Early Wednesday morning, he got into his vehicle, and officers followed him as he drove down the I-35 service road, investigators have said. Officials said he pulled over onto the grass, and as SWAT officers approached, Conditt detonated the bomb.
