In this Sunday, April 27, 2014 photo, authorities investigate a fatal train accident that killed a married couple who were standing on the tracks in Verona, N.Y. Authorities ruled the incident a murder-suicide after they determined that Earl Myatt Jr. decided to drive Mary, his wife of 42 years, to the railroad crossing, and stand with her in the path of an oncoming freight train. Relatives have said he became despondent after she suffered a brain aneurysm in January 2014 that left her with a drastically diminished mental capacity. (AP Photo/Observer-Dispatch, Philip A. Vanno)
