RCMP say a woman in her 60s was killed at a retirement home in Strathmore, Alta., on Friday.

Cpl. Lacey Blair said officers responded to a sudden death at AgeCare Sagewood in Strathmore, approximately 50 kilometres east of Calgary.

A 63-year-old woman was found dead, which was deemed a homicide. Blair said officers identified the suspect as the victim's husband. However, he was later found dead in Calgary.

Blair said the man wasn't living in the same facility as the woman.

In a news release, RCMP said they were not looking for any other suspects.

Autopsies on the pair were performed Monday. The causes of death have not been released.

The RCMP serious crimes branch has taken over the investigation.
