CALGARY – Police say a Calgary woman killed her seven-year-old son before taking her own life.
Officers were doing a welfare check at a home in the Temple neighbourhood on Wednesday, when they found the bodies of the boy and the 42-year-old woman.
Police say autopsies were conducted and the chief medical examiner determined the case to be a murder-suicide.
Investigators are not looking for other suspects.
Police also say there was no reported history of family violence.
Police are not releasing the names of the woman and child out of respect for their relatives.
“This is a tragic and traumatic event,” Staff Sgt. Mark Rahn said in a statement.
“We recognize that this affects not only the family of the victims, but members of the wider community as well.”
This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 11, 2026.
