Man, Woman Die in Apparent Murder-Suicide Inside South Jersey Apartment

Authorities have identified two people found dead in a South Jersey apartment in what they're calling a murder-suicide.

The Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office says 48-year-old Jose Perez killed 48-year-old Rosa Cancela inside their Vineland apartment before taking his own life. Their bodies were found Friday afternoon on the second-floor of the Berkshires Apartment complex.

Authorities did not say how Cancela and Perez died. The case is still under investigation.

A company representative tells the Press of Atlantic City that Perez was a sanitation worker at Omni Baking.
