A man and woman were found dead Wednesday afternoon in Hiram in an apparent murder-suicide.
The bodies of Stephanie Ranieri, 43, and Chad Adams, 48, both of Hiram, were found dead outside a Clemons Cove home about 4 p.m., according to Shannon Moss, a spokesperson for the Maine Department of Public Safety.
The Maine medical examiner’s office on Thursday ruled Ranieri’s death was a homicide and Adams’ death a suicide.
Ranieri and Adams had been in a relationship, Moss said Friday.
The deaths remain under investigation.
