Man shot by police - autopsy inconclusive on reason for death?

I heard that Maine's U.S. Senator Collins was supposed to be in Van Buren (about 12 miles from where I live) today for some event involving Border Patrol. I wanted to speak with her about their budget... cutting it, or maybe even eliminating it altogether would be best. So I was looking for information on that event when I came upon a story about a man who was shot one year ago by Maine State Trooper Robert Flynn. The border patrol agent who accompanied Flynn was not identified in that story; here it is.

I did contact his widow and speak with her, but it was years ago.

I discovered that the link to the Portland Press Herald story is gone. So here are others I found:
