His body was discovered "near the area of the incident," the bureau said. Monday's double homicide took place at the north end of Reelfoot Lake, authorities said.

Investigators didn't reveal how the victims, Chance Black, 26, and Zachery Grooms, 25, both of Weakly County, were killed. But Vowell was described by law enforcement as armed and dangerous.

A warrant for Vowell's arrest based on two first-degree murder allegations was approved Tuesday, the bureau said. Authorities said he did not have a history of criminal arrests in Tennessee.

An autopsy to determine Vowell's cause of death was planned, the bureau said.
