Del. court gunman had brain tumor, autopsy finds

WILMINGTON - The autopsy of a Texas man who killed his former daughter-in-law and another woman at a Delaware courthouse shows he had a brain tumor. The autopsy report of Thomas Matusiewicz, 68, says a large tumor known as a meningioma was found.

Authorities say Matusiewicz killed himself after the courthouse shooting Feb. 11. His widow, Lenore, had sought an independent autopsy, saying she believed an untreated brain tumor was to blame for her husband's violent actions.

Matusiewicz was cremated shortly after the state released his body. The Delaware Attorney General's Office had initially refused to allow the release of the autopsy report to the family, citing an open investigation. The shooting capped a years-long custody battle between Matusiewicz's son and ex-wife. - AP
