A 59-year-old Fairview Park man is facing a murder charge for the death of his wife.
Fairview Park Police said officers responded to a home in the 21600 block of Westwood Avenue Wednesday just after 10 a.m. for a domestic disturbance call.
An 18-year-old man at the home spoke with police and said his father had hurt his mother. The 59-year-old was detained outside in the front yard while officers searched the home.
Police said they found a 53-year-old woman unresponsive with "obvious life-threatening injuries." She was taken to a nearby hospital and later died.
Police arrested the 59-year-old, took him to the North Olmsted City Jail, and said he would be charged with murder.
The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation assisted Fairview Park Police in processing evidence at the home.
The matter remains under investigation.
No further details were released.
