BRUNSWICK, Maine (AP) – Police have recovered the body of a bus driver who was behind the wheel when a Canadian man committed suicide in April after killing two registered sex offenders in Maine.
Neal Hardy was reported missing more than a week ago by his wife, who said her husband hadn’t been the same since the shooting. Hardy’s body was discovered in a junk yard in the Cooks Corner area, police told WGME-TV.
Hardy’s wife said her husband became depressed and suicidal after 19-year-old Stephen Marshall fatally shot himself in the head on the bus as it approached South Station in Boston. Police say Marshall killed two men early Easter morning in Milo and Corinth who were on the state’s online sex offender registry.
Marshall then boarded the bus in Bangor and fatally shot himself when police stopped the bus in Boston. Marshall was found in a seat, a gunshot wound to his head and blood splattered on several passengers.
Nikki Hardy told the TV station last week that her husband suffered some sort of “post-traumatic stress meltdown” after the shooting.
