Family featured in heart transplant stories found dead

-
Authorities in Berks County, Pa., said Sunday a family of five died in an apparent murder-suicide a year after newspapers nationwide wrote about their struggle to obtain a drug to prevent their 1-year-old daughter from rejecting her transplanted heart.

District Attorney John Adams said the bodies of Mark Short, 40; his wife, Megan, 33; and their children Liana, 8, Mark, 5, and Willow, 2, were found Saturday by police in their home in Sinking Spring, Pa.

Adams said a handwritten note that "appeared to be a 'murder-suicide' note" was found in the family's home Saturday afternoon. Police said they found all five dead of gunshot wounds and a handgun near one of the adults, but they didn't say which one they believe was the shooter.
