Eric Ryan Maes, 30, the Arizona man accused of kidnapping his 10-month-old son and driving a minivan into the child’s mother, died on Friday, according to Maricopa County Medical Examiner records viewed by Law&Crime.

The Arizona Republic in a Thursday report that Maes could be brain-dead. His condition was certainly dire by all accounts. Prosecutors with the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office actually dismissed charges voicing sympathy to his family, so relatives could more easily make decisions about his condition.
