(WWJ) Police in Waterford are investigating what has been reported as a suspected murder and attempted suicide that happened Sunday in the area of Hatchery and Airport Roads.
Police say they were called at 5:30 p.m. last night for a welfare check on a 56-year-old woman after she did not show up for work earlier in the day.
Upon arrival, officers found the female dead from apparent blunt force trauma. Also found was her 71 year old husband who was unconscious from an apparent overdose.
"This was not a random crime and the husband is in custody," police said.
He was last reported in critical condition. Neighbors say at about 6 p.m., they saw a man being taken out on a stretcher.

Langton learned the couple has been long married and traveled together.
