The Clark County Medical Examiner’s Office on Tuesday identified two men who died Saturday in a homicide-suicide at an Amboy residence.
Vernon W. Snider, 84, of Amboy died of multiple gunshot wounds to the head; his death was ruled a homicide, meaning it resulted from another person’s deliberate action. The ruling does not make any judgments about criminal culpability.
The other man, identified as 56-year-old Robert E. Rowland of Amboy, also died of a gunshot wound to the head, and his death was ruled a suicide. The medical examiner’s office said Rowland shot himself with a handgun.
Clark County sheriff’s deputies responded about 7 p.m. Saturday to 24707 N.E. 419th St. When they arrived, they found the men’s bodies, according to a sheriff’s office news release. Property records show Snider owned the residence.
