WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. Authorities say a North Carolina stabbed his estranged wife to death before hanging himself.
The Winston-Salem Journal reported Saturday that 32-year-old Cory Gaither went to his wife's home around 5:30 a.m. Friday. A trail of blood led from Allison Gaither's driveway to behind a neighbor's house, where she collapsed and died.
Police say Cory Gaither drove south toward Davidson County, where his body was found hanging from a tree limb two hours later. Sheriff David Grice says Gaither tied an electrical cord around his neck, climbed the tree and jumped from a branch.
Allison Gaither had taken out a domestic violence protective order against her husband two days before her death. She told police he threatened to take her children and assaulted her male friend.

We recognize this is not an exhaustive portrayal of all deaths resulting from intimate violence.) When is society going to realize intimate violence makes victims of us all?
