TITUSVILLE -- The man charged with homicide after his girlfriend's frozen body was found, has died.
Michael P. Brooker, 35, died Sunday afternoon at a Pittsburgh hospital, Crawford County District Attorney Francis Schultz said.
Brooker had been charged Wednesday by Titusville police after the body of Renee Rose Gates, 23, was found covered in snow behind her Titusville apartment complex.
Following his arraignment, Brooker had been held without bail in the Crawford County Correctional Facility in Saegertown. He was taken to a hospital a couple days ago, Schultz said. Brooker's death was believed to have been related to liver problems, officials said.
Schultz said the investigation into Gates' homicide will continue. Results of an autopsy to determine her cause of death weren't yet available.
