Update: Radio Show Host Was Killed In Murder-Suicide, Son Called 911

ROYALTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP/WWJ) — Southwestern Michigan authorities say the bodies of a radio morning show host and her husband have been found in their home.

Michigan State Police Lt. Mike Dawson says the investigation continues into the deaths Tuesday morning of WSJM host Denise Bohn-Stewart and her husband, Eric Stewart. Dawson says the couple's three children were at the home in Berrien County's Royalton Township and one called 911.

According to the South Bend Tribune, Bohn-Stewart was shot dead by her husband before he turned the gun on himself, per police.

Michigan State Police said Denise was shot several times in an upstairs bedroom by Eric, 50. A handgun was found near his body in the home's basement.

Michigan State Police 1st Lt. Chuck Christensen said there was evidence of domestic problems between the couple.

Police found both bodies. Dawson says the children — ages 10, 9 and 8 — were taken to a safe location.

Officials have declined to say how they died. Autopsies are expected Tuesday or Wednesday.

Rest in Peace, Denise. To see stories, video, photos, arrangement details, events, fundraisers and more, visit www.983thecoast.com and click on Remembering Denise.
