(BLOOMINGTON) - Bloomington Police have released the names of those involved in the murder/suicide that happened Wednesday at Stratum Apartments.

According to Bloomington Lieutenant Brad Seifers, officers were called to the apartments in the 3100 block of Goodnight Way after a report of a male and female being found in the common area of one of the apartment buildings.

When officers arrived they found 20-year-old Chuanlin Xiao dead from an apparent suicide by hanging. Near the male, officers discovered the body of a 21-year-old Yaolin Wang. Police say she died from apparent stab wounds.

Wang lived in the apartment building. Xiao lived in Washington State.
