In what seems to be a modern day Romeo and Juliet story, a couple were found dead in each other’s arms atop their bed in a New York Hilton hotel last Friday. The police say they suspect the couple of having committed suicide by overdose.
37-year-old Scott Jacobi from Staten Island and 34-year-old Theresa Mateo from the Bronx failed to check out at the appointed time and workers at the hotel later discovered the couple's bodies in their room.
They were found fully clothed and clutching each other in bed, less than 48 hours after they checked in, at about 6 p.m. on Wednesday.
