Blood seeping through the ceiling of a South Florida apartment led police to a couple dead from an apparent murder-suicide, the Sun-Sentinel reported.

After a neighbor reported the blood Sunday, police knocked on the apartment upstairs. When no one responded, Margate police removed the door and found two people dead -- Sally Mantzouranis, 66, who was found lying in bed; and her husband, Nicholas Mantzouranis, 84, who was next to her on the floor, WPLG reported.
