When troopers approached him, state police said Gudorf pulled out a gun and 'abruptly shot himself.'
Troopers rendered aid to Gudorf before he was rushed to the hospital. He was pronounced dead at the hospital.
'Pending official identification by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, state police believe the identity of the individual to be Jeremy Gudorf,' a state police spokesperson told WFXT.
News Center 7 previously reported that Gudorf was arrested at Boston's Logan International Airport on Feb. 20, moments before taking off on a flight to Paris.
Massachusetts State Police troopers learned he was wanted on charges related to the sexual exploitation of a minor for services in Huntersville, North Carolina just before 9 p.m. when U.S. Customs and Border Protection were reviewing the manifest of the Boston-to-Paris flight.
Gudorf was arraigned on Feb. 21 in the East Boston District Court on a fugitive-from-justice charge.
In a statement provided to WFXT, a JetBlue spokesperson said that Gudorf has been placed on 'indefinite leave.'
'We are aware of and closely reviewing the arrest of one of our pilots upon reporting for work at Boston's Logan Airport Thursday evening due to an outstanding warrant,' the spokesperson said. 'The pilot has been placed on indefinite leave as law enforcement proceeds with the matter.'
The Huntersville Police Department confirmed to WFXT that it launched an investigation into Gudorf in October 2024 after receiving a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
During the investigation, the police department said detectives obtained a search warrant for Google, leading to the identification of the source of the reported sexual exploitation images.
'At the time the crime was committed, records indicate he resided in Huntersville, NC. However, during the investigation, and before he was identified as a suspect, he relocated out of state,' the police department said in a statement.
Gudorf, who was allowed to hide his face in court, was ordered held on $10,000 bail under the condition he immediately report to North Carolina within a week of his court appearance, WFXT reported.
Friday's incident remains under investigation.

‘Outside agitators' blamed for ICE protest damage in Brookhaven; AG warns against violence
Six people face charges after a protest of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement operations that was largely peaceful through the day experienced violence Tuesday night. Brookhaven's mayor told Channel 2's Michael Doudna that the people responsible for a lot of the damage were not from the area. 'It's clear that they were outside agitators, decided to try to basically goad us into action,' Mayor John Park said. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] Only one of the people arrested was from Brookhaven, officials said. Around 9:30 p.m., windows were smashed on multiple police cars and fireworks were thrown. Park said those actions are a crime, not a protest. 'Pretty much all the protesters, they don't want violence,' he said. 'They want to be heard.' Estevan Hernandez helped organize the protest, speaking out against ICE operations across the country. 'L.A. was the spark, and we're seeing it travel across the country now,' he said of the nationwide demonstrations. Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr on Wednesday warned against people getting violent. 'If you use violence for the purposes of changing public policy, we can and will charge you with domestic terrorism,' Carr said. For most of the evening Tuesday, hundreds of people peacefully rallied along Buford Highway. This will likely be one of multiple protests in the near future, as law enforcement will have to balance First Amendment rights with public safety. 'People have the right to be heard,' Park said. 'We support that, but our main concern is we want to keep people safe.' The same group that organized Tuesday's protest has scheduled another one Saturday in DeKalb County.
