Calgary police say the deaths of two people in the community of Spruce Cliff over the weekend are the result of a murder-suicide.
Emergency crews were called to the Westgate Park high-rise condominium in the 0-100 block of Spruce Place S.W. around 7:10 p.m. on Saturday for reports that a woman had been found dead.
Police say as first responders were assessing the situation, a man jumped to his death from an upper-level balcony.
On Monday, police identified the homicide victim as 69-year-old Joanne Suk-Wah Tse and the man who then took his own life as 61-year-old De Lin Tang.
Staff Sgt. Sean Gregson says police believe Tang either threw or pushed Tse over the balcony, and confirmed her feet and hands were bound at the time.
Both died from blunt-force trauma after their falls.
