Far-right activist Teddy Von Nukem died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to a report.

Missouri’s Bradford Funeral Home confirmed Nukem’s death on Jan. 30. The 35-year-old died by suicide the week he was due in court for smuggling fentanyl across the southern border, according to the Daily Beast.

An Arizona judge issued a warrant for Von Nukem’s arrest the day he died behind his Hartshorn, Missouri, home. A coroner reportedly claimed Von Nukem — formerly Ted Landrum — left written evidence of his intentions to die.
