Life-saving measures were attempted, but Hahn was pronounced dead at the scene, investigators said.
Deputies said there were no signs of foul play and Hahn had not previously shown signs of being suicidal. However, a suicide letter was recovered during the investigation, deputies said.
Hahn was found guilty Oct. 3 on charges of rape, sexual battery, and pandering obscenity involving a minor, according to court documents. He was set to be sentenced in November.
Additional details were not available and the case remains under investigation by the Miami County Sheriff’s Office.
