Updated at 12:24 a.m. ET: Adam Mayes, suspected of kidnapping Jo Ann Bain and her three daughters nearly two weeks ago, has died, the FBI confirmed. The two younger daughters, Alexandria Bain, 12, and Kyliyah Bain, 8, were found safe and taken by authorities to a hospital to be examined, WMCTV.com in Memphis, Tenn. reported.
Game wardens happened upon Mayes Thursday evening in a heavily wooded area behind a small church in northern Mississippi, about 45 minutes from the Tennessee border. As they approached, he shot himself. He was in critical condition as an ambulance transported him to Baptist Hospital in Alpine, Miss., where he was later pronounced dead, NBC News reported.
When reporters asked a law enforcement official if Alexandria and Kyliyah were all right and whether they had said anything, he replied, "We just tried to love them and feed them."
The two girls were hungry but getting medical attention, Union County Sheriff Jimmy Edwards said. They had a jug of water with them. "I told them it's going to be OK. I gave them a big hug ... When I seen these kids, it was a huge relief," Edwards told Reuters.
