Reports indicate that Henry allegedly killed his wife, Alice Benzinger, 38, by fatally shooting her in a bathtub, and then turned the gun on himself. Tragically, the fate of his children remains shrouded in secrecy, with details of their demise withheld. Speculation suggests they may have been smothered, given drugs, or strangled.
The sheer horror of this event serves as a stark reminder that beneath the facade of wealth and success, profound misery can lurk. It's a sobering realization that even seemingly idyllic families are not immune to such unfathomable tragedy.
From New York Post:
The couple were found dead inside the house with gunshot wounds beside a 9mm pistol and a loaded magazine inside one of the bathrooms Monday morning after police were called for a welfare check, authorities have said.
Their two sons were found dead inside one of the five bedrooms.
A cause of death for the two young children has not been released, but it is believed the boys were either smothered, strangled, or given a lethal overdose because there was no sign of trauma to their bodies, sources familiar with the investigation told NBC Bay Area.
A motive for the deaths remains unclear, as cops continue their investigation.
“Based on the information we have at this time, this appears to be an isolated incident with no danger to the public, as we are confident the person responsible was located within the home,” San Mateo police said in a statement, noting there was no sign of forced entry.
