CHICAGO — A Milwaukee man who died at the Sheraton Hotel near the Mag Mile Friday was the victim in a murder-suicide, the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office determined Saturday.

James A. Wright, Jr., 56, was apparently shot in the face by Kim Wright, 46, of Oconomowoc, Wis., who in turn killed herself with a gunshot wound to the face, an autopsy said.

The relationship between James Wright and Kim Wright is unclear.

Police initially believed the pair died in a double suicide, and said two handguns had been found near the bodies. On Saturday, police had no new information about the case.
