He was accused of killing 33-year-old Sabina Rosas, whose body was found 12:30 p.m. local time Monday at the Shou Sugi Ban House in Water Mill, N.Y.
In a statement, Suffolk County Police said Rosas' body was found in a guest room by a staff member.
"It was determined the woman was a victim of violence," it statement read.
Law enforcement told ABC 7 that Gannon had checked into the resort with Rosas and was last seen leaving without her.
Rosas' family said in a statement to NBC News that they are "deeply saddened" by Rosas' death but feel a "profound sense of injustice" over Gannon's.
"The loss of the suspect means we will never hear the truth about what happened to her," the family said.
"This outcome has robbed us of the opportunity to find closure through the legal process."
