OFFICIALLY: (EX-COP-TURNED-KILLER) CHRISTOPHER DORNER'S A GONER... BODY HAS BEEN POSITIVELY IDENTIFIED
Officials in San Bernardino, CA, positively identified the charred body found in a mountain cabin to be Christopher Dorner, the ex-L.A. cop turned killer.
Officials said they made the identification using dental records during the autopsy.
The announcement brings a formal end to the epic manhunt for Dorner, who was accused of killing four people, including two law enforcement officers.
He was killed at the end of a hours-long standoff in a cabin near Big Bear on Tuesday afternoon.
Authorities said that SWAT officers in the cabin standoff decided to use highly flammable "hot gas" canisters as a last resort after other efforts to persuade Dorner to surrender failed.
