Widow, 106, dies in double suicide pact

A 106-year-old widow and her 30-year-old caretaker died together in an apparent suicide pact at the home they shared, police in San Francisco said.

The bodies of Helen Godet and her friend and caretaker of nine years, David Lund, were found along with suicide notes indicating that Lund strangled the woman after she decided she could not take her own life, Inspector Dennis Maffei said.
