- Worcester police officer Kurt Solomon was found dead at home and his wife, Karen Solomon, later was found dead near a rehabilitation hospital in what authorities say appears to be a tragic murder‑suicide.
- Karen Solomon was a longtime advocate for police mental health—co‑founder of First H.E.L.P. and author on first‑responder mental and physical wellness.
- A multi‑agency search using drones, boats and tracking dogs led to the discovery; a handgun was recovered at the scene (not a Worcester police service weapon).
