Sounds like the suspect died in the explosion.

NORTH HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — A body was found in a Connecticut building after an explosion during a standoff with a man who had taken his wife hostage, officials said Thursday.

State Police Trooper Kelly Grant said that nine officers were being treated for non-life-threatening injuries and the remains of one unidentified person was found in a building at the home in North Haven Thursday morning.
Grant did not release a name during a Thursday news conference, saying an autopsy was scheduled to positively identify the body. But there was no one in custody.

Kelly said that a woman had called police to report domestic violence before the explosion at a barn behind the home Wednesday night. First Selectman Michael Freda said the wife escaped before the explosion.
