A body found in the Colorado woods near an abandoned car was that of a 17-year-old student accused of wounding two workers in a shooting at his Denver school, a coroner’s office said.

Park County sheriff Tom McGraw said the body was discovered on Wednesday not far from the teenager’s car in a remote mountain area about 50 miles south-west of Denver, near the small town of Bailey.
