Coroner: Elderly Mercer Co. Couple Die in Apparent Murder-Suicide

The Mercer County Coroner has confirmed that an elderly couple were found dead in their home Sunday night following an apparent murder-suicide.

According to the Coroner, the bodies of Glenda and Darrel "Bruce" Noel, both 71, were discovered around 9:30 by two relatives.

We’re told the Noels’ niece grew concerned after a phone call with the couple was interrupted due to a disturbance at the house.

The Coroner said the niece and her brother-in-law went to check on them and found the couple’s bodies in a back bedroom.

The Sheriff’s Office is currently investigating.

An autopsy has been scheduled for Tuesday morning.
