Deaths ruled murder-suicide
Ted and Swanie Hardgrove

September 2, 2010

The deaths of Ted and Swanie Hardgrove have been determined to have been a murder-suicide. The fire that consumed the couple's home was an attempted cover-up.

Officials say it appears Ted Hardgrove shot his wife, started the fire, and then shot himself.

A suicide letter written by Ted Hardgrove indicated the shooting to be a mercy killing, as his wife suffered from cerebral palsy and was in a great deal of pain.
