A former reality TV star has allegedly been shot dead by her husband in their luxury home before he turned the gun on himself.
Authorities found the body of Paulina Lerch, 33, who appeared on Top Model in her native Poland twice, after her family failed to get in touch with her for over a week.
WHAT POLICE THINKS
Police suspect her husband Sławomir, 47, shot her dead before killing himself at their home near Poznan City, Poland, on Sunday.
He was reportedly found lying next to Lerch with fatal self-inflicted gunshot wounds.
The house was locked from the inside and a revolver was discovered next to the young couple’s dead bodies.
Sławomir was an alleged drug trafficker and was arrested, along with 30 other suspects, in April and May this year after 60kg of drugs were found stashed in a warehouse.
He was released from custody at the beginning of August.
Lerch kept her marriage to Sławomir, nicknamed Klakson, away from the public eye.
WAS IT MURDER OR SUICIDE PACT?
It remains unclear whether Paulina’s death was murder or a suicide pact between the pair.
It is also unknown when the shooting took place and investigators are hoping that the autopsy results will shed more light on the circumstances behind their deaths.
