A father of two fatally stabbed his family and then took his own life in their Upper West Side apartment, the New York City Medical Examiner determined.
The murder-suicide occurred in the family's apartment on Monday where Lopez worked as a superintendent.
The grandfather, also a superintendent, unscrewed the peephole on the door from the outside, looked in and was horrified to see his daughter-in-law's motionless body on the floor. That's when he called 911. "I think it's crazy. I think it's scary," resident Jeff Kimmel said. "I couldn't imagine, when this happened and we were all shaking, the first thing we thought is who could have come into our building and do this?"
