The police were unable to catch him after the murder but he would later come to die by his own hands. On July 23, 1997, Modesto Cunanan’s son shot himself in the head in a luxury houseboat in Miami Beach. He stole the gun of his first victim, Jeff Trail, a gun identical to the one with which he had killed David Madson, William Reese and Gianni Versace..
