MERCER COUNTY, Ky. -- Police are investigating the deaths of a Mercer County couple as a murder-suicide after their bodies were found in their home Wednesday.
The couple's son went to check on them after getting a call from Central Baptist Hospital when his mother didn't show up for work.
Patricia Blackburn suffered stab and gunshot wounds; her husband, Dennis, gun shot wounds.
Dennis Blackburn is a former Lexington fire captain.
Police said they will interview family members and friends trying to see what led up these deaths, but said they are not looking for anyone else involved.
A compilation of daily news articles from around the United States about deaths (including both people and animals) that appear to occur in the context of a past or present intimate relationship, focusing on 2009-present. (NOTE: this blog is limited to incidents that appear in the media and are captured by our search terms. 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?
