UPDATE 2/18/13 @ 9:45 p.m.
KANAWHA COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) --The bodies of a husband and wife were found dead inside their Cross Lanes home Monday morning, and police are calling it a murder-suicide.

Kanawha County Sheriff's deputies say the husband and wife died from gunshot wounds, and no one else had entered the home along Flairwood Drive.

Their bodies were discovered just after 11 a.m. after neighbors and coworkers came looking for the couple. Deputies say no one had heard from them in two days.

"[The husband] did not show up to work, and some co-workers got concerned about him," Cpl. B.D. Humphreys said. "They came to the house to check on him, and a neighbor helped with finding a way into the house."

Neighbors described the couple as being very much in love and doing just about everything together. They say they never heard so much as an argument coming from the house.

"They were the perfect couple," Jon Walker said. "They deeply loved each other ... at least that's what we knew them as. Just really genuine, friendly people."

Now, he's just trying to cope with the shock and sadness of losing their loving presence.

"There's no way to ever prepare for anything like this," Walker said. "It never crossed my mind that anything like this would ever happen."

Deputies aren't releasing the victims' identities now, but neighbors told WSAZ.com the husband worked as a physician and his wife worked with him.

They also say the wife had been suffering from health problems.
