An Illinois man shot and killed his partner and himself over fears that they'd contracted the coronavirus, according to law enforcement.
Patrick Jesernik, 54, and Cheryl Schriefer, 59, were both found dead in a residence last Thursday when police responded to the residence for a welfare check. Patrick Jesernik’s parents had not heard from their son and they’d called on the cops to check on him.
At the home in Will County (the county surrounding Joliet, Illinois), sheriff's deputies found that the door was locked from the inside and that both people were dead in separate rooms from gunshot wounds to the head, with the gun next to Jesernik’s body.
There was no known history of domestic abuse or police presence at the house, but the couple had recently been concerned about the status of their health.
According to a press release from the Will County Sheriff’s Office:
"Family arrived on scene and stated that Patrick had been scared that he and Cheryl had contracted the COVID-19 virus, and that Cheryl was tested two days ago. It was reported that Cheryl was having a hard time breathing. The family stated that to their knowledge, she had not received the test result."
Sadly, an autopsy revealed that both “Cheryl and Patrick tested negative for the COVID-19 virus.”
What a jackass. If true. If you get to the point of sailing a bullet through your spouse’s head, I sometimes suspect there could be an underlying issue.
“Sadly, an autopsy revealed that both “Cheryl and Patrick tested negative for the COVID-19 virus.””
The killer line in this report.
Onoz! What do you mean we have a flu thir kills 3% of those who catch it? Quick, get the cyanide!
Going to end like .3%, if that.
$10 says they go in the IL COVID-19 fatality totals.
So he was afraid he was going to die so he killed himself.
The shallow end of the gene pool.
I raise you another $10 they both vote Democrat this November!
The NY Post coverage of this story (the cop and/or the reporter are morons (or this is a murder/murder):
“A revolver carrying three live rounds was found next to Jesernik. Two spent shell casings were also found nearby, authorities said.”

“Patrick Jesernik, 54, and Cheryl Schriefer, 59, were both found dead in a residence last Thursday when police responded to the residence for a welfare check.”
The victims were giving out welfare checks to police?
That’s what it sounds like. What people have to do to get the police to show up ...
How much do you want to bet they voted democrat all their lives?
JoMa
CT gov calls it a “coronavirus related death.”
(In reality, it is a media hysteria related death. I’ve been sounding the alarm about covid19, but it’s not a frickin’ death sentence.)
Trump said there would be suicides.
This is reminiscent of Orson Wells’ “War of the Worlds” radio broadcast.
I wonder what happened when they ran out of orange juice in the morning.
If true...now there are some pretty stupid people...now dead people.
I - have - no - words. Just shaking my head in disbelief.
They were afraid the virus would kill them.
Looks like it.
As of 11 am PST, my county of 210,00 reports 1 in 10,478 infected (20 cases) with 0 deaths.
