Woman's body found in Schuylkill River following murder-suicide in King of Prussia

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A woman is dead after police say she killed her husband and tried to kill her son before taking her own life.

The body of 57-year-old Tonya Dupree, of King of Prussia, was found floating in the Schuylkill River along Kelly Drive in East Falls on Saturday.

It started when police said they responded to the FedEx Warehouse in Upper Dublin around 9:30 a.m. on Saturday after Tonya's son reported that his mother allegedly called him out of work and pointed a gun at his head in her vehicle. He was able to wrestle the gun away before she took off.

That gun was recovered by police.

Then, around 10:15 a.m. that same day, Upper Merion Township Police conducted a welfare check on Tonya's home in King of Prussia.

That's where they found her husband, 62-year-old Robert Dupree Sr., dead in his bed. Police said he had been shot.

A little more than an hour later, Philadelphia police said a female body was found floating in the Schuylkill River near the 4500 block of Kelly Drive. That body was recovered and identified as Tonya.

The district attorney says she took her life, however, the cause of death is still unknown.
