Ohio Couple, Both 71, Found Shot Dead at Home; Daughter's Ex-Husband Found Dead in Same House
Police in North Royalton, a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio, said a husband and wife, both 71, were found dead in their home on the evening of November 10, each with an apparent gunshot wound to the head. Their daughter's ex-husband was then found dead in the same house, and police said the evidence indicates he shot the couple before killing himself.
Police said that just before 8 p.m. on November 10, the couple's daughter called 911 to report that her estranged ex-husband's car was in the driveway of her parents' home on Tiffany Drive, that she could not reach her parents, and that the man was not welcome there. Officers who entered the home found Emilia Ciortan in the dining room and Sorin Ciortan upstairs, both dead. The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner's Office confirmed both were 71.
A tactical unit from the Southwest Enforcement Bureau then searched the house and found the body of Stefan Pascu, also 71, in the lower level, with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head and a firearm nearby. The North Royalton Detective Bureau is investigating with assistance from the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation. Police described the case as an isolated incident with no ongoing threat to the community, and said the investigation remains ongoing.
