Four Dead In Apparent Triple Murder-Suicide In Oakland County

KEEGO HARBOR (WWJ) - Four people have been found dead in what appears to be a murder-suicide in Oakland County's Keego Harbor.

According to Keego Harbor police, officers responding to a home in the 2300 block of Cass Lake Road to do a welfare check just after 8 a.m. Friday were met by a relative who was concerned about the residents.

When officers entered the house, they found four people dead "in what appears to be a family situation murder/suicide," said Police Chief John Fitzgerald.

He stressed that the suspected perpetrator of this tragedy has been accounted for and there is no danger to the community, adding "Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of the victims."

Fitzgerald did not release any further details, including a possible cause of death, and the name and ages of the deceased were not immediately released.

Neighbors, however, told WWJ's Jon Hewett the family consisted of a married couple and two adult children in their 20s.

One neighbor said he knew the young woman.

"I'm just...I'm speechless right now; I don't really know what tel tell you or say to you," the man, who have only the first name Michael said. " I'm just in utter...I don't know what to say. I'm baffled by the situation."

An investigation is ongoing, with Keego Harbor police, assisted by Sylvan Lake police and the Oakland County Medical Examiner on the scene long into the afternoon.
