The two people found dead in an Aurora home on Friday were a 60-year-old man who shot himself in the head and a 53-year-old woman who had been strangled, the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office has ruled.

The bodies of Ann Elizabeth Tooley and Perry Monroe Drake were discovered on Friday, according to a Wednesday news release by Dr. Kelly Lear, the coroner.

Tooley’s strangulation was ruled a homicide, Lear wrote. Drake’s death was called a suicide.

Lear wrote that the deaths were related.
