The Dane County coroner has ruled the deaths of a separated couple in McFarland and in Madison Tuesday evening were an apparent murder-suicide.
Preliminary autopsy findings indicate 51-year-old Shereen C. Beaulieu died from a gunshot wound, and her husband, 61-year-old Robert J. Beaulieu died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
UW-Madison officials said Shereen Beaulieu was a well liked staff member and grants specialist with a university graduate program. “She was a model employee whose personal impact and professional contributions to this office are already missed,” manager Stephanie Gray of Research and Sponsored programs said.
