The nurse found the bodies of Frank and Catherine Forte just after 7 a.m., in their condo at the Woodcrest at Fairfield, sources with direct knowledge of the incident tell Daily Voice.
The couple normally had their shades open but the night before, they were tightly shut, a neighbor told Daily Voice speaking on terms of anonymity. Frank reportedly was experiencing the early stages of dementia, officials say.
The nurse yelled for a neighbor to call 9-1-1, bringing a large police presence to the scene. The Fortes were taken to Morristown Medical Center, where they were pronounced dead, officials say.
