E-mail this | Sgt. Dave Reagan says the couple's daughter called 911 on Friday afternoon after finding her mother dead in bed and her 71-year-old father dead in a chair with a pistol in his lap.
Reagan says the older woman was suffering from Alzheimer's disease and had recently been released from a hospital into hospice care at home. The spokesman says the man had been providing round-the-clock care for his wife.
No note was found but Reagan says the man had set out the couple's financial records.
The man and woman were not immediately identified.
