An autopsy report showed the couple tested negative for COVID-19.
A 54-year-old Illinois man shot and killed his 59-year-old partner before also killing himself because he thought they’d contracted the coronavirus, authorities said.
“Family arrived on scene and stated that Patrick had been scared that he and Cheryl had contracted the COVID-19 virus, and that Cheryl was tested two days ago,” the sheriff's office said in the statement. “It was reported that Cheryl was having a hard time breathing. The family stated that to their knowledge, she had not received the test result.”
An autopsy report on Friday confirmed that Schriefer’s death was a homicide and Jesernik’s was a suicide. They both tested negative for COVID-19.
