The station reports that a judge had just granted a divorce to the wife, who had accused her husband of infidelity, emotional abuse, and of physically attacking her in June causing serious injuries. The judge also granted sole custody to their 7-year-old child and ordered Coley to pay $190 a week in child support.
UPDATED: Monday 10 p.m. -- WXYZ reports that the suspect is dead. The station reports that robots went inside and saw the man laying on the bed motionless. It was unclear how he died.
