LAMPASAS, Texas — Matthew and Suzanne Ambuhl, both 59, were found dead at their home on Antelope Lane on October 20 in what police are investigating as an apparent murder-suicide.
According to the Lampasas Police Department, authorities discovered the couple after a medical monitoring company alerted them to an emergency involving Matthew Ambuhl’s pacemaker. The alert reached authorities after a delay.
When officers arrived at the home, they found Matthew on the back porch and Suzanne inside the house. Both had died. Police also found two cats dead at the property.
Preliminary autopsy findings indicate that Matthew died by homicide and Suzanne died by suicide, according to the provided report. Investigators are still working to establish the exact timeline of events.
