December 15, 2011|By Erica Rodriguez, Orlando Sentinel
A Lake County man killed his elderly wife late Wednesday before apparently turning a gun on himself, according to the Lake County Sheriff's Office.

The incident happened about 11 p.m. at the couple's home at 7620 Arrow Lane in the Yalaha area.

Steven Parker, 65, called Lake dispatchers and told them he had just killed his wife and intended to kill himself. He explained that his wife, Kathryn Parker, 78, had Alzheimer's disease and he wasn't going to be able to care for her because he was also in bad health, sheriff's officials said.
