Montgomery County Police are investigating two deaths in an apparent muder-suicide in the 5400 block of Westbard Avenue in Bethesda.
The bodies of Hong Trang Tracy Vu, of the 10900 block of New Hampshire Avenue in Silver Spring, and Martin Sean O'Toole, 38, of Bethesda, were found in an apartment bedroom by police and Montgomery County Fire and Rescue personnel at approximately 11:11 a.m. Saturday.
A family member, who had not been able to contact O'Toole, a resident at the Westbard address, entered the apartment, found Vu and O'Toole unresponsive and called Fire/Rescue, police said.
Both victims had evidence of trauma to their bodies, police said.
Vu's age cannot be confirmed at this time, but police believe she is between 35 to 38 years old.
Both victims were transported to Baltimore where the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will conduct autopsies to determine the cause and manner of death, police said.
The circumstances that led to these deaths remain under investigation. Anyone who can provide information related to these deaths is asked to call the Major Crimes Division at 240-773-5070.
