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.
