The Astoria Police Department has publicly identified the man and woman who died Wednesday in what authorities believe was a murder-suicide at an apartment building in the city.

Scott Mathew, 57, shot his wife, 51-year-old Denise Lynn Mathew, before shooting himself, police said.

A maintenance worker found the pair dead inside their apartment in the Bayshore Apartments at 1400 West Marine Drive Wednesday morning, Astoria Police Chief Stacy Kelly said earlier this week.



The Astoria Police Department asks anyone with information about the case to contact Det. Madyson Hanna at 503-325-4411 ormhanna@astoria.gov.
