The woman's husband discovered the bodies of his wife, who was in her 50s, and the couple's 22-year-old son when he returned from work to his home on the 800 block of Nectarine Avenue shortly before 7:45 p.m., said Capt. Dave Verbrugge of the Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety.
The son suffered from severe autism, said Heather Jauch, a neighbor of five years.
