On Monday, the body of Karen Solomon, a mental health advocate and co-founder of First H.E.L.P., was discovered near her Massachusetts home, six days after she went missing. Her husband, Worcester Police Officer Kurt Solomon, was found dead in their home just before 5:30 a.m. on August 18. Authorities believe this to be a tragic murder-suicide case. On the morning of her husband's death, Karen Solomon was present at their house, and she had been charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon over the weekend. The police have found a handgun near her body, but it is not a Worcester police service weapon, and investigators are working to determine its ownership. Kurt Solomon, who served for 31 years with the police department, was mortally injured with a sharp object according to authorities. An intensive law enforcement search involving local, state, and federal agencies centered around the area near the couple’s Worcester home and a reservoir about a mile away. In a 2020 interview on the “Dr. Phil” show, Karen Solomon spoke about police departments often offering little help to the families of officers who took their own lives. The Solomon family expressed gratitude towards law enforcement for helping them find some answers in this heartbreaking situation. A wake for Kurt Solomon is scheduled for Tuesday, and his funeral for Wednesday. Thomas Duffy, local police union president, described him as a "tremendous human being" who was like family.
