MIDVALE, Utah — An investigation is underway after a man and woman were found dead Tuesday in Midvale.
Unified Police said one of the residents' employers called them after they failed to show up for work. Officers conducted a welfare check at a home near 7500 S. Jefferson Street around 11:15 a.m., and after knocking and calling them with no answer, they obtained a key and entered the home.
Inside, officers found two people deceased: 65-year-old Eilleen Lyon and 63-year-old Terry Lyon.
UPD officials say it appears to be a murder-suicide. In an update on Wednesday, they said it appeared that Terry shot Eilleen before shooting himself.
Officials said there is no known history of domestic violence between the man and woman at the residence, and both lived in the home. Their relationship was not specified.
"This is a heartbreaking situation, and our thoughts are with the family, friends, and co-workers affected by this tragedy," UPD said in a statement. "We are committed to conducting a thorough investigation to provide answers and closure."
