A man and woman were found dead inside a Duluth apartment complex Thursday night in what Gwinnett County authorities are investigating as a possible murder-suicide.
The Gwinnett County Police Department said in a release officers were called to an apartment complex on the 1600 block of Centerview Dv. at 10:30 p.m. for a welfare check. A family member of one of the residents told authorities they had not heard from their uncle in several days after receiving what they believed to be a suicide note from him.
Forced entry was used to enter the apartment where the man and woman were found dead inside. A preliminary investigation indicated the female died by strangulation while the male died by hanging. The medical examiner will conduct autopsies to determine the official cause of death, according to a release from the GCPD.
The investigation is considered active, but authorities do not believe anyone else was involved. Both names will be withheld until next of kin can be notified.
