um, it doesn't say he didn't commit suicide

Maybe he stabbed her to death the night before and jumped in front of a train the next morning and then they found her body later that night. In fact, the details are few and sketchy. Just sayin' multiple possibilities here.

That was my thought too.

If he didnt kill her or commit suicide this would be a pretty odd coincidence. I guess on the bright side neither will have to grieve.

It could well be a tragic and bizarre coincidence. I suppose we just have to wait for the full facts.

I was thinking the same thing. The fact that they are looking for no additional suspects in her death is pretty telling. Murder-suicide.

Definitely, if I were a gambling woman, that's where I'd place my bet.

Besides there are two things I don't believe in; coincidence and leprechauns.

And I'm not 100% sure about the leprechauns. ;)
