Coroner: Air Force Academy Cadet, Mother Killed Themselves
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) - Investigators say a woman whose body was found in a remote open space killed herself about two weeks after her son stabbed himself to death in his dorm room at the Air Force Academy.
The El Paso County Coroner's Office released its findings Wednesday in the deaths of 21-year-old Alexandre Quiros and his mother, 45-year-old Ksenia Quiros.
The Colorado Springs Gazette reports the cadet was found dead in his dorm room April 2. His mother disappeared April 15 and was found dead three days later in a steep, rugged area southwest of Colorado Springs.
The coroner's office says she ingested deadly levels of antihistamine and became hypothermic.
