Last updated on Thursday, October 1, 2015

(BLOOMINGTON) - Bloomington Police are investigating a 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 a 20-year-old man had died from an apparent suicide by hanging. Near the male, officers discovered the body of a 21-year-old woman. Police say she died from apparent stab wounds.

"Based on preliminary investigation detectives believe the female victim was killed by the male who then took his own life," Seifers wrote in a press release.

The case is still under investigation and the names of the deceased are being withheld until family members can be notified.
