The 40-year-old's body was found two days after the shootings in a nearby town. The medical examiner concluded that he died by suicide.
Family members had concerns about Card's behavior before the shooting. They reported that he was paranoid and delusional, winding up in a hospital for two weeks during training with other reservists at West Point.
