Authorities have ruled that the deaths of two people found on Route 2 in New Annan last Sunday were the cause of a murder-suicide.

Maurean Catherine MacDonnell was found dead in the vehicle. MacLean, who was in the driver's seat, was taken to the hospital.

According the RCMP, MacDonnell, 36, was killed by MacLean, 47, who later died from self-inflicted injuries.
