It was reported that McNair and a woman were found dead. Hope it wasn't a murder suicide thing. Reportedly the woman wasn't his wife.

The authorities still haven't labeled it a murder-suicide, but they aren't looking for any other suspects either.

Yeah, I think so; no forced entry, no other suspects...
The police are being extra cautious I guess.
