The Whatcom County Sheriff's Office are treating the deaths of the 77-year-old man and his 76-year-old wife as a suspected murder/suicide.
On 8/9/19 at 4:47 AM EDTAn elderly man in Washington is suspected of killing his wife before taking own life because they could not afford her medical bills.
The dispatcher attempted to keep the man on the line to no avail. The 77-year-old eventually ended the call by saying:"We will be in the front bedroom." The husband and wife were found dead from suspected gunshot wounds. Officers then searched the address and found several notes which cited"severe ongoing medical problems with the wife and expressing concerns that the couple did not have sufficient resources to pay for medical care," according to a press release.
Sherrie Schulteis, who lives on the same street as the couple, said she is"dumbfounded" by their deaths.
