ST. JOSEPH, MI - The shooting deaths of a radio talk show host and her husband early Tuesday morning was an apparent murder-suicide, police say.

Investigators with the Michigan State Police say radio personality Denise Bohn Stewart, 45, was apparently killed during an early Tuesday incident of domestic violence by her husband, Eric Stewart, 51. He then apparently killed himself.

Authorities with the Berrien County Sheriff's Department and Michigan State Police have not released the circumstances of the couple's death, but the Herald Palladium newspaper reported that police initially described the call as a double shooting and said there were no signs of a break-in.

In a press release, troopers with the MSP Post in Niles reported, "When troopers arrived, they discovered two deceased adults. ... The preliminary investigative finding in this incident are those of a murder/suicide. The deceased suspect and victim were married and had three young children. The children were located by police without injury and in good health."

The couple had two sons and a daughter, one of whom called 911 just after 6:30 a.m., according to the 98.3 The Coast radio station Facebook post.

Bohn Stewart co-hosted a morning radio show at 98.3 The Coast and had worked previously as a television reporter in South Bend, Ind.

She and her husband were found dead in their house in the 3100 block of Wyndwicke Drive in Berrien County's Royalton Township, according to a statement on the Facebook page of 98.3 The Coast.

Michigan State Police detectives from the Nile Post are investigating the incident and being assistance by the MSP Crime Laboratory from Grand Rapids.
