2 dead in Indian Head Park murder-suicide

Two men died Saturday in southwest suburban Indian Head Park in what officials are calling a murder-suicide.

Phillip Stasi, 42, stabbed 75-year-old Ronald Stasi to death Saturday morning in the 6500 block of Chocise Drive, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office. Afterward, he turned the knife on himself.

An autopsy Sunday ruled Phillip Stasi’s death a suicide and Ronald Stasi’s death a homicide, the medical examiner’s office said. The cause of death in both cases was multiple sharp force injuries.

Indian Head Park police did not immediately return a request for details.
