Wife Killer Botches Suicide Try

"NILES, OH — Niles police and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation are investigating an apparent murder-attempted suicide involving Lisa Fisher and her husband, John Fisher, at their home on 138 South Cleveland Avenue.

"A family member alerted police to the Fisher residence at about 12:30 p.m. Monday, where they found Lisa Fisher, 39, dead on the couch and John Fisher injured but still alive in the bedroom.

"Lisa Fisher had suffered a blunt-force trauma wound to her forehead, but police at this point don’t know what type of object caused the injury. It appears she had been dead since Friday or Saturday, Police Chief Bruce Simeone said.

"John Fisher suffered lacerations that police believe were self-inflicted. It also appears John Fisher remained in the home throughout the time period his wife was dead without calling anyone, Simeone said.

"At this point, police do not believe anyone else was involved Lisa Fisher’s death or John Fisher’s injuries, Simeone said."
