Craig Berry, a former special forces member alleged to have shot his wife in northern Tennessee, has been found deceased from what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound, following a six-day search effort, according to the Stewart County Sheriff’s Office.

In a statement shared on social media, the sheriff’s office announced, “Today, the Stewart County Sheriff’s Office SWAT team, in collaboration with TBI agents, discovered the body of Craig Berry. Early assessments indicate that he succumbed to a self-inflicted gunshot wound.”

The U.S. Marshals Service has also confirmed Berry’s death, stating that he is “no longer a threat to the public.”

Details regarding the location where Berry was found and the estimated time of his death have not been disclosed by authorities.

Berry, aged 53, was accused of shooting his wife in the early hours of May 1 after a domestic altercation. Following the incident, he reportedly fled into nearby wooded areas, prompting a significant manhunt.

The wife was taken to the hospital following the shooting, though her current condition remains unknown as of Wednesday.

Stewart County is situated near the Kentucky border, approximately 75 miles northeast of Nashville.
