Two senior citizens were found shot dead inside a Michigan home in a grisly scene police believe was a suicide pact.
Suzanne Leich, 73, was found Wednesday morning on the kitchen floor of her Warren condo with a gunshot wound to the head when her daughter made the horrifying discovery, according to the Warren Police Department, multiple outlets reported.
The mortified daughter then came upon her mother’s 75-year-old friend — who has not been publicly identified — slumped in a kitchen chair with a gun resting atop the fatal shot in her chest, WDIV reported.
Cops said the elderly women left behind two handwritten notes that pointed to the planned deadly deal.
The tragic duo also legally purchased the handgun used in the fatal act just one day before their bodies were discovered, the outlet reported.
Loved ones of Leich reportedly told authorities they didn’t know or recognize the other victim.
Police later confirmed the senior was from Fraser, and the ill-fated duo were friends.
The investigation into their deaths is ongoing.
