Murder or suicide in apt. complex?

Was there a murder or suicide discovered early Wednesday morning in Woodstock?

A resident of the Prairie Ridge Apartments told me this afternoon that he had heard "terrible" screaming about 6:00AM and that police were swarming all over a garage near his building off Leah Lane between Country Club Road and McConnell Road.

As of this time just before midnight, there is nothing posted on the Northwest Herald website or on the Woodstock Police Department press release webpage.

To the resident it had sounded like a body had been discovered in a garage.

Anybody know anything?

the NWH does not report on suicides unless it is a prominent individual or a peculiar event in a public place. I am sure through your efforts the family will experience more pain.

But the death of a person is news, particularly this month when a series of four public meetings sponsored by the Crisis Line, Family Service and Centegra on the topic of suicide awareness and prevention was just completed this week.

There is no intention to cause pain to anyone by reporting of a death by suicide, whether that's what happened in this case or not.
