The targets of a two-week national manhunt used a cellphone to record a video of their “last will and testament” before they died, according to a news report.

Kam McLeod, 19, and Bryer Schmegelsky, 18, had been on the run for weeks before their bodies were located near Nelson River in northern Manitoba. Authorities said two firearms were also found at the scene, and autopsies conducted by a Manitoba medical examiner concluded that the pair had died by suicide.
