Roanoke Co, VA — A Roanoke County couple found dead in their own home Monday appear to have killed themselves. Confirmation of cause of death is likely to take several weeks.
Raymond Steele was 63. Melissa Steele was 43. Police believe both of them had been out of touch with relatives for some time. Police describe the couple as shut ins and hoarders.
Raymond Steel apparently had medical problems, was on oxygen and was down to his last bottle. They were also struggling financially.
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?
