William "Jeff" Komlo was killed in a car crash in Greece, authorities said. The State Department confirmed his identity with fingerprints.

Prior to the confirmed ID, officials had been skeptical. Due to his life on the run and other events, it was believed that William "Jeff" Komlo could have gone as far as to fake his own death.
