The Palm Beach county sheriff’s office on Sunday identified the couple as 87-year-old Sondra Wiener of Boynton Beach and her 90-year-old husband, Marvin Wiener.

They were found unresponsive with gunshot wounds on Thursday afternoon, inside their residence.

“Detectives from the violent crimes division arrived on scene to investigate further,” the sheriff’s office said. “After further investigation it appears to be a murder-suicide.”

2. Actually given their ages I would not be surprised if it was an issue of one killing the other

because they were terminally ill and or ill with something like severe Alzheimer's and took their own life afterwards because they felt they could not live without them.

5. Yes, when I saw their ages,

that was what I assumed.

6. I thought that was most likely too.

Possibly there was a pact, even.

7. Not only do I agree, but I'm beginning to worry about a replay

by a full-time caregiving spouse of a deteriorating "home hospice" brain cancer patient -- she's posted that she's "beginning to lose (her) composure."

10. When my mother's breast cancer spread to her brain

I was beginning to feel like I might have to do something to hasten her death.It was in her bones too and most of the time the Fentanyl patches worked, but sometimes she had to take morphine for breakthrough pain. It's so hard to watch someone you love suffer.
