In a shocking incident, two elderly individuals were discovered deceased in a Michigan residence, victims of gunshot wounds. Authorities suspect the incident to be a result of a suicide pact. The victims were identified as Suzanne Leich, 73, and her 75-year-old friend, whose identity has not been disclosed.
Leich was discovered by her daughter on Wednesday morning, lying on the kitchen floor of her Warren condo with a fatal gunshot wound to her head. The daughter, in her state of shock, then found Leich’s friend seated lifelessly in a kitchen chair, a gun resting on her chest, marking the spot of her fatal wound.
The two women had reportedly purchased the handgun used in the incident legally, just a day before their bodies were found. The police found two handwritten notes at the scene, which suggested that the deaths were premeditated.
The identity of the 75-year-old woman remains undisclosed, but authorities have confirmed that she was a resident of Fraser and a friend of Leich. Family members of Leich reportedly informed the police that they were not familiar with the other victim.
The investigation into the circumstances surrounding their deaths is still underway. The police are working to piece together the events leading up to the tragic incident and to understand the reasons behind the suspected suicide pact.
