As for his face, one source said it still bore a resemblance to the photos in his wanted...
...MIAMI: SWAT teams surrounded a houseboat tonight some two miles from Gianni Versace's home after a caretaker surprised an intruder and then reported a gunshot. Aboard the boat, police after two initial searches found the body of a young man closely resembling Andrew Cunanan who had killed himself with a gunshot.
