Neil McMorran

How they died

Suicide

Following up on a relative's call, Champaign County deputies arrived at a rural home to check on an elderly woman. McMorran greeted them at the door. He said the woman was bedridden and that he wanted to make sure she was dressed before they came into the house. Moments passed as the deputies waited outside. Then, they heard a single gunshot. The man had shot himself. The woman had been dead for some time.
