The sister of fraudster Bernie Madoff and her husband died last week from an apparent murder-suicide, authorities said on Sunday.
Sondra Wiener, 87, and her husband Marvin were found with gunshot wounds on Thursday in Boynton Beach, Florida, the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office said.
“Detectives from the violent crimes division arrived on scene to investigate further. After further investigation it appears to be a murder-suicide,” the sheriff’s office said.
The medical examiner will determine the cause of death.
Madoff died at the age of 82 last year in federal prison, where he was serving a 150-year sentence after being convicted of organising the largest known Ponzi scheme in history.
His scheme, worth an estimated $64.8 billion, went undiscovered for years and ensnared thousands of victims, including charities, hedge funds, celebrities and pension funds.

Barings Bank
Barings, one of Britain’s oldest investment banks, was
founded in 1762 and operated for 233 years before it went bust after a trading
scandal.
Barings Bank collapsed in February 1995 following colossal
losses caused by rogue trader Nick Lesson.
Leeson gambled more than $1 billion in speculative trades,
wiping out the venerable merchant bank’s cash reserves.
