Father of Sandy Hook Victim Dies by Apparent Suicide at Newtown Community Center

The father of one of the children killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting died by apparent suicide Monday morning at a community center building in Newtown, Connecticut, police said.

Jeremy Richman, 49, was found unresponsive at Edmond Town Hall around 7 a.m. Monday, a Newtown Police Department spokesman told HuffPost. An electrician doing work in the building discovered his body, police said.

Richman is the father of Avielle, a 6-year-old who was among the 20 children killed in the mass shooting. Richman, a neuro-pharmacologist, founded the Avielle Foundation, which has an office in Edmond Town Hall. The foundation focused on studying the neuroscience of violence and compassion.
