LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Police in Louisville have found the body of a woman inside a home after a standoff with a man who held a gun to his own head.
WAVE-TV reported the incident began late Thursday when police went to a western Louisville neighborhood to check on the welfare of an elderly woman who other family members hadn't heard from since August.
Police arrived to find the woman's son threatening to kill himself and several hours of negotiations began.

Deputy Coroner Jim Wesley said Friday that the woman, 89-year-old Sina B. Harris, died of natural causes and had probably been dead since May.
The man was being questioned, but had not been charged.
