Police now are releasing the cause of death after two bodies were found in a West Seneca home last month.

Officers say 60-year-old Gregory Grimmer and 31-year-old Jennifer Villa's deaths were a murder-suicide. 

The stepfather and daughter were found shot in their home on French Lea Road on January 22. 

According to the Erie County Medical Examiner's report, Grimmer shot Villa multiple times in the chest and then turned the gun on himself.  

The police investigation remains ongoing.
