(OCSO, June 28, 2022)
Rochester Hills, MI – Oakland County Sheriff’s Detectives are investigating the deaths of a mother and a daughter who were found deceased Monday as a result of gunshot wounds in the daughter’s Rochester Hills residence.
A call was made to the Sheriff’s Emergency Operations Center at 8:39 p.m. from an address on Stratford Lane reporting two women were deceased in the residence. Upon arrival, Deputies met with the husband/father of the victims, who said both women suffered from ongoing medical issues, and he had gone to check on their well-being.
Detectives found the bodies of the daughter, age 50, and the mother, age 75, in a bedroom in the residence. The investigation revealed the daughter had a history of suicide attempts. The mother had moved into her daughter’s residence to assist with the daughter’s care. Detectives are working to rule out foul play.
