Body believed to be Karen Solomon found near Worcester hospital, murder-suicide probed
Worcester police said on 25 August that a body recovered in a wooded area near Fairlawn Rehabilitation Hospital was believed to be Karen Solomon, the wife of Officer Kurt Solomon, and that the case is being treated as a murder-suicide. Police had earlier halted the search for Solomon after her husband was found dead at their home on 17 August, and the department subsequently issued a warrant, classifying her as an armed and dangerous suspect. Solomon, a 58-year-old mental-health advocate who founded a first-responder suicide-prevention nonprofit, had been sought on assault charges as the investigation into her husband's death unfolded.
