The Los Angeles County coroner's office on Tuesday released the names
of a couple killed in a reported murder-suicide at a Torrance hospital.
Marlow Galbraith, 75, and his wife, Joanna Galbraith, 74, of
Torrance, died of gunshot wounds Saturday at Providence Little Company
of Mary Medical Center in the 4100 block of Torrance Boulevard,
according to authorities.
The Torrance Police Department said Marlow Galbraith went to the
hospital; entered a fourth-floor room where his wife was a patient; shot
her and then shot himself. A handgun was recovered inside the hospital
room.
The shooting comes two weeks after another elderly muder suicide in
Torrance. In the earlier incident, an 80-year-old man shot and killed
two employees in his senior-living facility, before killing himself.
Employees of the Golden West Towers said the shooter had a history of
violent behavior toward fellow tenants and employees.
Police say they are still continuing their investigation into the
hospital room shooting. Anyone with information about the case can
contact Torrance police at (310) 618-5570
