A concerned family member had contacted authorities, reporting that he had not heard from his in-laws for several days. Concerned for their safety, he requested a welfare check to ensure they were unharmed.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5\">Upon entering the home, deputies discovered a grim scene. Both Claire and Frederick were found deceased, each having sustained gunshot wounds. On Friday, the coroner\u2019s report confirmed the nature of the deaths:<\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"6\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Claire Olmsted Buckley:<\/b> Deceased from gunshot wounds.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Frederick Buckley:<\/b> Deceased from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"7\">A Community in Mourning<\/h3>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8\">In a heartbreaking addition to the human loss, deputies also discovered the couple\u2019s dog dead in the living room.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"9\">While the motive remains under investigation by the Butler County Sheriff\u2019s Office, the incident has left neighbors in the usually serene subdivision shocked.
