BOWDOING, Maine (WABI) - A man who confessed to killing his parents and two of their friends in Bowdoin and wounding three people in a highway shooting in Yarmouth in 2023 has died.

The Maine Department of Corrections confirmed the death of 36-year-old Joseph Eaton.

They say Eaton died yesterday in a Massachusetts correctional facility.

No details about his death have been released, but the Maine DOC says Massachusetts State Police are investigating.

Last year, Eaton began serving a life sentence for murder.

His 20-23 crimes took place just days after Eaton was released from a Maine prison on unrelated charges.
