A 62-year-old man was taken into custody for attempting to end his life after the gruesome murder of his wife.
According to the League City Police Department, on Tuesday morning, the Galveston County Sheriff’s Office requested help from League City PD evicting Charles McCoy and his 62-year-old wife, Susan McCoy, from their home in the 100 block of Crescent Bay Drive.
After officers met with the responding deputy, they tried to make contact at the front door, but no one answered.
When they entered the home, ABC13 said officers found Susan McCoy dead, lying on the floor of the master bedroom.
Charles McCoy was also found lying on the bedroom floor with apparent self-inflicted injuries, but he was still alive.
First responders began treating his injuries until he was taken to the hospital.
After a thorough investigation, the Galveston County District Attorney’s Office accepted a murder charge against Charles McCoy, and he was placed into custody.
His bond was set at $150,000.
