According to Sheriff Sills, the officer says his wife committed suicide in this house.

No charges have been filed, but the sheriff is also not yet confirming it was a suicide.

The scene was suspicious in nature.

The sheriff says, eaten in police officer Michael Seth Perol's wife, Amanda, was found dead

in their home on Monday.

The two were the only people in the house at the time.

Only the two of them, only Amanda and Michael Seth Perol.

Less than a week earlier, Perol was arrested and charged with a simple battery in connection

to an alleged domestic dispute.

There appears to be a long history of domestic abuse.

According to Sills, Michael didn't call 911.

Perol had told him that his wife had killed herself.

And we of course responded immediately to the scene.

Sills made it clear.
