A murder-suicide Wednesday morning in Warren left two women in their 70s dead, but is also leaving family members with a lot of questions.

UPDATE: Evidence of suicide pact discovered after women in 70s found dead

It happened on Joanne Smith Drive near 10 Mile and Mound. Both women were found dead from gunshot wounds.

Police said one of the women was on the floor while the second women was in a chair with the gun resting on her chest.

"Where’s the gun from? Who’s the other lady?" Joann Sikora said.

It's unclear how the two women knew each other. Police said one of the women was the homeowner and it's believed this was a murder-suicide.

Family identified one woman as 74-year-old Suzanne Leich. The 76-year-old woman is from Fraser but no other details were immediately available.

"It’s heartbreaking. She’s a sweet little lady. I don’t understand this. I don’t know who was with her. I know she also had a friend who would come and spend time with her so she wasn’t alone," Sikora said.

Leich's daughter was the one who found the two bodies. She didn't recognize the other woman, either. 

It's also unknown how long the two women were dead. Police are still investigating.
