Health Care Workers Find Grisly Scene

"Indianapolis, IN - Metro police are investigating at least one homicide on the city's far northeast side.

"Investigators say home health care workers found the bodies of 74-year-old David Cassady and his wife Ruth, around 7:30 Wednesday night, in the 7400 block of Lantern Road.

"Neighbors say David Cassady was a retired director at the Indianapolis Children's Museum. They say he had fallen and broken his shoulder last week.

"Investigators say this was the health care workers' first visit to their home and they found the door unlocked.

"`When they went inside the residence, they found two individuals down. Preliminary indication at least one is a homicide and we're examining the situation with the other individual to see if that is in fact a homicide also,` said IMPD Sgt Paul Thompson.

"Investigators found the husband's body on a bed. His wife's body was discovered not far away.

"`Early indications it's a violent death on the part of both of these individuals,` Thompson said.

"At this point, police say the deaths appear to be the result of a murder-suicide. It appears Ruth Cassady shot her husband as he laid on his bed and then turned the weapon on herself.

"Metro police are hopeful autopsies will give them more information on what transpired Wednesday night in the Cassady home."
