BCA: Predatory Offender Found Dead In Paynesville Home

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Authorities say a man found dead in a Paynesville home on Tuesday was a non-compliant predatory offender wanted on several warrants.

The man was identified Wednesday by the Ramsey County Medical Examiner as Ryan Gean Clover, whose last known address was in Isanti County. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension had been asking for the public's help since last Friday to locate Clover, 28, after he allegedly made threats of violence against law enforcement.

Authorities found Clover's body on Tuesday in an unoccupied home in Paynesville. A preliminary autopsy shows he died of suicide due to asphyxia as a result of hanging.
