BUSHKILL, Pa.—Authorities in eastern Pennsylvania say the shooting deaths of a man and woman have been ruled a murder-suicide.
Northampton County Coroner Zachary Lysek says 39-year-old Michele Fogel was killed by her husband, 43-year-old Troy Fogel, who then killed himself. Police said a relative found their bodies just before 7:30 p.m. Monday in their Bushkill Township home.
According to court records, the couple had been accused of defaulting on their mortgage and their home was up for a sheriff's sale. Court records also indicate that the husband had once applied for a protection from abuse order against his wife on behalf of himself and the couple's three teenage daughters, but the request was later dismissed.
