State Police have
released the results of an autopsy on the man suspected of stabbing
a father and son at a campground in the Town of Black Brook.
41 year-old Stephen
R. Gourlay of Peru was pronounced dead at Fletcher Allen Health Care
in Burlington at 1:30 p.m. Thursday, according to a State Police
news release.
The Vermont Medical
Examiner’s Office conducted an autopsy and determined Gourlay’s
cause of death was blunt force trauma to the head and torso. The
death was ruled accidental.
Gourlay had been
hospitalized since sustaining critical injuries when he collided
with a residence on the Clintonville Road in the town of AuSable as
he was attempting to flee from State Police.
He was being pursued
as the suspect in a double stabbing at Taylor Pond State Campground
on April 24.
45 year-old George
Goyotte and his 20 year-old son Richard were stabbed in the chest
during a dispute at the campground. Both men have since been
released from the hospital.
