Elderly Siblings Dead in Apparent Murder-Suicide

Two elderly siblings were found shot to death at a southwest Florida home in what authorities believe was a murder-suicide.

The Collier County Sheriff's Office reports that a home health care worker discovered the bodies of 85-year-old August Steen Jr. and 92-year-old Edna Jarboe at their North Naples residence Tuesday morning.

Detectives say the brother likely shot his older sister before turning the gun on himself. 

A medical examiner will determine an official cause of death.
