One of the deaths occurred in an 'Occupy' protest encampment in Burlington, Vermont, while the second death took place in Oakland California, the Associated Press reported.
In an Occupy Vermont encampment, a 35-year-old military veteran died of a gunshot wound in what is believed to have been suicide, while in Oakland, a second man was shot and killed during a fight just outside the Occupy Oakland encampment.
Investigators are currently looking into evidence suggesting links between those involved in the fighting and 'Occupy Oakland' protesters.
The body of a third man, unnoticed for two days, has been found in his tent at the 'Occupy' New Orleans encampment.
More information on the victims has not yet been released.
The 'Occupy' movement emerged after a group of demonstrators gathered in New York's financial district on September 17 to protest against the unjust distribution of wealth in the country and the excessive influence of big corporations on US policies.
Despite mass arrests and widespread police crackdown, the movement dubbed 'Occupy Wall Street' (OWS) has now spread to major US cities, as well as to other countries, including Australia, Britain, Germany, Italy, Spain, Ireland, and Portugal.
Protesters are demonstrating against unemployment, war, and corporatism among other grievances.
