Police found a handwritten “murder-suicide” note in a Pennsylvania home where a family of five, including a toddler who underwent a heart transplant a week after birth, was found dead of gunshot wounds, prosecutors said Sunday.
Mark Short was 40 and his wife was 33. Their three children were Lianna, 8, Mark Jr., 5, and Willow, 2.
Willow and Megan were featured in articles in the Reading Eagle in 2014 and The New York Times in 2015 about Willow's transplant and the family’s difficulties obtaining anti-rejection medication for her.
Megan worried at the end each month that her daughter’s drug supply would run out before it could be refilled, The Times reported.
“You just feel like every month, you’re hoping that they don’t mess it up,” she told the paper.
Fox 29 reported that the mother had written publicly about her struggles with post-traumatic stress disorder after Willow’s heart transplant.
