The Special Weapons And Tactics (SWAT) team made entry into the home and found a 59-year-old man and a 50-year-old woman dead.

Both appeared to have sustained deep cuts, and the woman sustained an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said.

Furthermore, the police stated the incident is being investigated as a suspected murder-suicide.

Reacting to the development, Duquesne Catholic University, where Iwuchukwu worked as an associate professor of theology until his demise, commiserated with the family and friends of the late don.

“This is a tragedy for all involved and our thoughts and prayers are with Professor Iwuchukwu’s colleagues, students, friends, and loved ones,” the varsity spokesperson, Gabriel Welsch, said in a statement.
