Body of Karen Solomon Found; Police Say Connected

Authorities in Worcester, Massachusetts believe they have found the body of Karen Solomon, the 58-year-old co-founder of a police mental-health advocacy group, in connection with the death of her husband, Worcester police Officer Kurt Solomon. The investigation has shaped the case as a likely murder‑suicide, with a handgun found near Karen Solomon's body and no direct link to Kurt Solomon’s service weapon. Karen Solomon had been the subject of an extensive multi‑agency manhunt after Kurt Solomon was found dead at their home, with police publicly stating she was armed and considered dangerous. The body was located near Coes Pond and behind a hospital or rehab facility in separate incidents reported over successive days, with authorities confirming the death appears self‑inflicted in initial assessments. Public statements emphasized there was no known history of domestic abuse, though the incident is being treated as a domestic matter due to family involvement. Funeral and wake arrangements for Kurt Solomon were announced as investigations continued, with authorities seeking to complete forensic confirmation of Karen Solomon’s identity.
