Will steroids be blamed for the murder/suicide?
Settled as No
Although linked to the deaths they were not blamed for them
Background:
Background: A mixed martial arts fighter and his wife have been found shot to death in a California home in what authorities say was an apparent murder-suicide.
Orange County Sheriff's Office spokesman Jim Amormino said the bodies of Justin Levens and his wife Sarah McLean-Levens were found Wednesday afternoon in a Laguna Niguel condominium by McLean-Leven's mother after she hadn't heard from her daughter in five days.
"That was out of the ordinary for them," Amormino told FOXNews.com.
The couple later was found by police officials in their bed, Amormino said, with a handgun near Levens' body. Painkillers and anti-depressants also were found in the home, although authorities weren't immediately sure Levens had prescriptions for the medications, Amormino said.
Autopsies were performed on the bodies late Thursday. Levens, 28, died from a single gunshot wound to the head. McLean-Levens suffered a gunshot wound to the chest that pierced her heart, Amormino said, adding that Levens was believed to be the shooter.
Levens competed in the Ultimate Fighting Championship and other fighting federations. The couple had been married for roughly a year, Amormino said.

Unsuspended Fri 2nd Jan 9:19pm PST by ryanj: The murder-suicide occurred the week of the 18th. It's unlikely we'll have an answer regarding whether the cause was steroids by the new year, so the suspend date has been moved up to April
