How they died

Suicide

Robert Todd Poulsen reportedly killed himself as police closed in on him after a multi-state crime spree. According to police, Poulsen was seen at around 11 p.m. driving a 1991 Mercury Topaz belonging to Chad Lee Anderson, who had been found shot to death the day before in Colorado. A chase ensued into Logan County, during which someone in the car allegedly shot at the pursuing vehicles. Police deployed a deflation device to disable the car, which went out of control into a ditch. Poulsen was reportedly found inside the car with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. He died at a hospital. Two other people were arrested.
