Coroner: Bucks man, 92, killed ailing wife, himself

A 92-year-old Bucks County man caring for his wife, who suffered from advanced Alzheimer's disease, took both their lives Sunday in a murder-suicide, the county coroner said Monday.

Charles Hoez and Jeanne Hoez, 90, were found dead Monday morning in their Middletown Township home by their son, said Coroner Joseph Campbell. The cause of death was carbon monoxide poisoning, Campbell said.

A witness had seen the husband drive his minivan around the side of their house on Sunday afternoon, Campbell said. A hose connected the minivan's exhaust pipe to the window of the bedroom where the couple were found dead.   - Robert Moran
