A Santa Rosa couple found dead in their westside home Saturday may have died during a murder-suicide or a double suicide, a police official said Sunday.
An adult son of Jennifer Hsieh, 53, and Wen-Kuo Hsieh, 50, found them late Saturday morning in their Valley West Drive home, Sgt. Steve Fraga said.
Autopsies scheduled for Monday were expected to help determine whether the married couple died by their own hands or whether the husband killed his wife and then himself, Fraga said.
The two appeared to have died either by hanging or strangulation.
Detectives investigated the deaths for hours Saturday to rule out a double homicide. By evening they'd determined there were no suspects in the deaths, Fraga said.
The couple spoke Mandarin Chinese and English. Some of the paperwork found at the home was in Mandarin and police hadn't established Sunday whether a note had been left.
