BPD is offering the following update as it attempts to strike the appropriate balance between public notification and compassion for the decedents’ family and friends:
The decedents have been identified as Dan and Dee Dean, a married couple who resided in Bishop for many years. The couple was experiencing marital problems with divorce papers having been recently served.
The investigation revealed that Mr. Dean intentionally shot Mrs. Dean and then took his own life. This was a planned event with no evidence of a protracted struggle.
