Indian murder suspect found dead in U.S.

Pawan Kumar Anjaiah, 26, a software engineer, was in the U.S. on an assignment with IT firm Cognizant, media reports said.

Police were looking for him for allegedly murdering a Pennsylvania woman Danielle Mehlman in Delaware's Dewey Beach motel on June 18.

The search for Anjaiah ended last week after authorities found him dead at a northern New Jersey motor lodge.

Anjaiah committed suicide and died of "an apparent drug overdose”, a spokeswoman for the prosecutor's office in New Jersey's Essex County was quoted as saying.
