Nov 9, 2018 | 4:40 AM

The family of the suspect who died after two explosions at a county office near Edmonton Tuesday has released a statement.

Kane Kosolowsky was discovered injured in a vehicle at a complex in Sherwood Park, just east of Edmonton, that houses Strathcona County’s civic offices, a library and a restaurant.

The 21-year-old was taken to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Mounties say he died of a gunshot wound, but they are not seeking any other suspects.

“We, the family of Kane Kosolowsky, are shocked and devastated by the unfortunate incident that took place on November 6, 2018. We are working in cooperation with the RCMP to assist in any capacity with the investigation.  We are thankful that there were no other persons harmed in this unexpected incident.  The events that occurred are totally out of character for Kane and we trust that the authorities will continue a thorough investigation to provide the answers we are all seeking. 

At this time we ask for privacy.”
