Get a rope. Update to this story. Even more reason that the man who stopped him was a hero.

The roommate of a man arrested in a Louisiana state trooper’s death was found dead Monday, and the suspect in the trooper’s slaying is also suspected in this case, a sheriff said.
The man was found dead Monday in a home he shared with Kevin Daigle, 54, in Moss Bluff, Calcasieu Parish Tony Mancuso said Monday at a news conference.
He said a deputy went by the home Monday morning after authorities were notified that the roommate had not arrived at work. The deputy found the roommate dead amid signs of a struggle. The roommate’s name was not immediately released.
“We are just now processing the scene,” he said. “We really don’t have a lot of answers.”
Senior Trooper Steven Vincent, 43, died Monday, a day after an apparently stranded motorist shot him in the head and then stood over him to tell him he was going to die soon, state police said.
Authorities plan to charge Daigle with first-degree murder in the trooper’s slaying. Vincent had been trying to help a man whose pickup truck was stuck sideways in a ditch, Col. Mike Edmonson said.
