Update March 8, 2012: The deceased have been identified as Jim Simmons, 41, and Donna Simmons, 16.
March 6, 2012 (Campo) – Yesterday morning, Sheriff’s deputies discovered the bodies of a man and his 16-year-old daughter at a home in the 2600 block of Cameron Truck Trail in Campo.
“The reporting party told deputies that he read a text message on his phone,” Sgt. David Martinez said. The message, from the father found dead, “essentially read that the man’s daughter committed suicide and the man was going to be with his daughter.”
Deputies found both bodies in a bedroom; no one else was inside. The Sheriff’s Homicide detail is investigating.
“Although it is early in the investigation, we do not believe there are any outstanding suspects in this case,” Sgt. Martinez said. “Detectives are in the process of obtaining a search warrant for the residence in order to conduct a thorough investigation into this incident.”
A cause of death and the identity of the decedents will be determined by the San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call the Homicide Detail at (858) 974-2321/after hours at (858) 565-5200 or Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-TIPS(8477).
