AG: NH Dentist Stabbed Wife To Death, Killed Himself

NASHUA, N.H. (AP) — The state Medical Examiner's office says a New Hampshire dentist stabbed his wife to death, then hanged himself in a murder-suicide.

The bodies of Reginald and Mary Danboise were discovered at their home on Saturday, where he worked as a dentist and she was his office administrator.

Senior Assistant Attorney General Jeffery Strelzin says Reginald Danboise killed his wife before hanging himself. Strelzin declined to comment on whether a note was found.

Investigators said 63-year-old Mary Danboise died of two stab wounds to the chest and her manner of death was a homicide. Her body was discovered in a second-floor bedroom.

Investigators said 67-year-old Reginald Danboise was found in his workshop on the back of his property.

Police are continuing to investigate.
