A man charged with blowing up a van packed with gas cylinders outside the Canberra headquarters of the Australia Christian Lobby has committed suicide.
Jaden Duong, 36, had been accused of loading the van with four bottles and ramming the offices of the anti-gay marriage group in December 2016.
Officers were reportedly called to the scene of his 'non-suspicious' death around 4.30pm Sunday, the Canberra Times reports.
In a statement ACT Policing said investigations are ongoing, with a report to be prepared for the coroner.
Mr Duong was charged in April after allegedly driving a white van into the Australian Christian Lobby's Eternity House building, near Parliament House.

At the preliminary court hearings that had already occurred, evidence had already been presented that that was clearly nonsense - he was a gay rights activist and they are the most visible opponents of same sex marriage in Australia, and he had researched their location and how to cause an explosion before it happened. He also admitted his dislike for the organisation.
Gosh, Mr. Maybe he was just trying to deliver donations of natural gas bottles to the Australia Christian Lobby and got his foot stuck on the gas. Golly gee willickers!
Killing and destruction does nothing to soothe the soul of the sinful.
You don’t suppose the dude committed Arkancide do you?
When the police give the motive, they are saying what the corrupt administration tells them to say. The police are in the service of the politicians, and the politicians are on the wrong side.
And I was told (here) just yesterday that gay men are the most conservative people in the western world!
He was pre disposed to self destruct.
No, I don’t see any reason to think this is anything other than a suicide - I accept that the man was severely troubled from all the evidence - but I am very annoyed at the police approach in this case.
Being suicidal or even mentally ill doesn’t stop somebody being a terrorist.
I’ll add him to my list of “favorite gay people.”
FR’s “real man” aficionados can be very interesting.
Apparently it does, "officially," if you're the right kind of terrorist. All those men shouting "Allah Akbar," for example, turn out to be "mentally ill," rather than Islamic terrorists.
We have some bizarre characters floating around here.
Understatement award!
I accept your award!!!
Sorry there’s no cash prize. I had to pay my physical therapist.
