Cause of death revealed for Wisconsin couple Brandon and Rachel Dumovich
Found inside a vehicle, hazard lights flashing
Around 11:52 p.m. on October 6, 2025, a patrol officer approached the couple’s vehicle, thinking someone inside might need help.
Instead, he found Rachel, 29, and Brandon, 30, both deceased.
Authorities recovered a gun inside the vehicle. Preliminary reports from the McHenry County Coroner’s Office indicate both sustained gunshot wounds to the head.
A spokesperson told Fox News Digital: “While a murder-suicide is a potential scenario, no final determination has been made.”
Six weeks after the couple was found, the Harvard Police Department shared a new update, confirming they had received the results of both autopsies.
Investigators determined that Brandon shot his wife, Rachel, and then turned the gun on himself. Authorities are handling the incident as a murder-suicide.
Police added that although the case is still active, investigators continue to review all evidence and reports.
A final post
Just hours before she died, Rachel uploaded a Facebook cover photo of a sunset in Greece with the caption:
“Forever chasing sunsets. Wishing we were back in Greece.”
