SHAKER HEIGHTS, Ohio — Authorities in Ohio have identified the four family members found slain in their home Sunday in a suspected murder-suicide.
The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office on Monday identified the deceased as Regina Tobin, 58; John Tobin, 57; and Natalie and Graham Tobin, both 15, WJW reported.
According to the Shaker Heights Police Department, officers responded Sunday to a call from a family member for a welfare check at the South Woodland Road home and found the bodies.
WEWS identified the 911 caller as John Tobin’s father, who stated he received an apologetic email from his son that morning in which he told his father to call the police, tell them the key was under the doormat and that it was safe for them to enter the home.
Police confirmed there were no signs of forced entry and stated they do not believe there are any additional suspects, WJW reported.
Tobin’s father reportedly told dispatchers his son was depressed but that he did not believe he was currently receiving treatment for mental illness. In addition to his son recently losing his job, Tobin’s father also said the family dog died last week, WEWS reported.
