Confirmed by news report, that Christopher Dorner is dead after the gun battle with authorities Tuesday afternoon.

The five-day manhunt for the ex-LAPD police officer accused for killing other police officers ended on a gun fight at a California mountain cabin.

Update: The LAPD now says that no body has been recovered from the cabin yet.

ABC reported:

Heavily armed police surrounding the cabin high the San Bernardino Mountains near Big Bear, Calif., say they saw Dorner enter but never leave the building as it was consumed by flames, creating a billowing column of black smoke seen for miles.

Police recovered a burnt body from the cabin, but were awaiting tests to officially confirm it belonged to Dorner, who for the past week was the most wanted man in America.

One sheriff’s deputy was killed in a shootout with Dorner earlier today, believed to be his fourth and final victim after killing an LAPD officer and two other people this month, including the daughter of a former police captain, and promising to kill many more in an online manifesto.

Dorner posted a manifesto online detailing his plans to shoot law enforcement and their families. He said that he won’t stop shooting until his name was cleared in the case that led to his firing.
