Couple Had Been Dead For Days

"TUCSON, AZ — A man and a woman were found dead inside their east-side apartment Wednesday in what Tucson police believe was a murder-suicide.

"Police said the married couple, the 57-year-old man and his 63-year-old wife, were found by the woman's brother Wednesday night in the Posada del Rio Apartment complex in the 7400 block of East Speedway, east of North Kolb Road.

"The brother, who lives in the complex, hadn't heard from his sister since Saturday, said Sgt. Matt Ronstadt, a police spokesman.

"Police believe the couple had been dead for several days. At least one neighbor reporting hearing possible gunshots Sunday, Ronstadt said.

"The woman's brother told police that his sister had recently been diagnosed with a significant illness.

"He said his sister's husband had talked about suicide recently. Police do not know what her illness was.

"Police said the two died of gunshot wounds, but they did not know who the shooter was.

"The names of the two were not released."
