A man accused of robbing two banks in Cobb County died at a hospital late Tuesday afternoon, cops said.

According to a news release sent Tuesday, he was found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound in his Marietta home and taken to WellStar Kennestone Hospital in critical condition.

Cobb and Marietta police detectives, along with a SWAT team, found the unidentified man inside his Wayward Drive home about 6:15 a.m. while serving a warrant, according to the news release.
