Community members of the James Smith Cree Nation in Saskatchewan gathered today following the death of the second suspect in the deadly mass stabbings.

After four grueling days, the manhunt for the primary suspect in the deadly Saskatchewan stabbing rampage that took the lives of 10 people and injured 18, has come to an end.

Myles Sanderson was stopped near the town of Rosthern, Saskatchewan after officers responded to a report of a stolen white pickup being driven by a man armed with a knife.

Police officers surrounded the vehicle and through verbal identification, confirmed the identity of the driver to be Myles Sanderson. He was arrested by police and taken into custody. A knife was located inside the vehicle. Police say he went into medical distress shortly after.

Emergency services were called by police to attend the scene and Myles was transported to a hospital in Saskatoon. He was pronounced deceased at the hospital.

A source told the Associated Press he died due to self-inflicted injuries but police say they will not speak to his cause of death until an autopsy report is complete. His brother, Damien, who was also a suspect was found dead near one of the crime scenes Monday. Details surrounding his death have also not been confirmed.

As investigations continue, police are looking into the possibility of others who may have assisted Sanderson during the manhunt.
