At Rest

Suicide
Police and SWAT officers surrounded a home after Thomas Ian Matthews, who was wanted for homicide, barricaded himself inside shortly before 10 a.m. Royal Oak Police Chief Corrigan O'Donohue said Matthews was found dead on the main floor of the home, on a bed, after a nearly six-hour standoff. "We never had any contact with him," O'Donohue said, adding that police never fired any gunshots.
This record exists so that Thomas Ian Matthews, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
