TUMWATER, Wash. (AP) — Washington State Patrol troopers have found two people dead in a car that fled from a trooper in a high speed chase that ended on Interstate 5 at Tumwater.
Trooper Guy Gill says the 38-year-old driver shot himself in the head. Then troopers found a 38-year-old woman passenger dead. He says she was emaciated and appeared to have been sick for some time.
Gill says he does not know how long the woman had been dead, but it does not appear she was killed during Tuesday morning’s incident. She was not shot.
The 10-mile chase began just before 6 a.m. when a car going about 85 mph passed a marked patrol car.
