Woman found dead in apparent ‘murder-suicide’ died a week ago, coroner says

Jeremy Harlow, 34, of Dayton, also was found dead in the home. He died by suicide on Jan. 23, Harshbarger said.

Dayton police are continuing to investigate.

“While detectives are still in the early stages of this investigation, the evidence recovered indicates this tragic event is likely the result of a murder-suicide,” Lt. Jason Hall said Monday.

Police responded around 3:45 p.m. Sunday to the 10 block of North Garfield Street after the owner of the duplex found Harlow dead inside, according to dispatch records.

The owner told a dispatcher that another tenant complained of a “terrible smell,” according to records.

Once officers were inside the duplex they also found Yates’ body.
