Almost one week after the passing of a 95-year-old Long Island woman, police swarmed her home to investigate the deaths of five people.
Nassau County police said five bodies were discovered at the Syosset home on Sunday, when officers responded to the home off Wyoming Court around 12 p.m.
The department said police found a man outside the home, dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The four other victims were all found inside the home.
Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder told Newsday that the weekend deaths appeared to be related to a murder-suicide.
“We do know that the subject on the front lawn did shoot and kill himself,” Ryder told the outlet.
As first reported by Newsday, the home appeared to be the address of Theresa Martha DeLucia, who died Aug. 19. The Syosset woman had been interned at Calverton National Cemetery on Friday.
