It has been revealed that a Nigerian doctor found dead alongside his wife didn't actually shoot her.

On Friday morning, a daughter, who doesn’t live at the home, went there after she became concerned. She wasn’t injured.

Someone in the house called 9-1-1 Friday morning around 10 a.m. from the home in the 1500 block of Brookstone Lane.

When officers arrived, they found the couple’s bodies inside. They were both in their 50s.

The tragic couple had lived in the Greatwood home for about 20 years.

A neighbour said she spoke to the wife a few days ago and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

The investigation remains ongoing.
