The NYPD is investigating the deaths of a prominent cancer doctor and her baby as a murder-suicide after they were found deceased inside the mother's Westchester residence Saturday.
Authorities said that Dr. Krystal Cascetta, 40, entered her baby's room at around 7 a.m. and shot the child dead before turning the gun on herself.
The incident occurred at her $1 million Somers house where she and her husband, Talty Bars' owner Tim Talty, lived.
Social media posts suggested that the slain infant was born around March. Cascetta was a Hematology-Oncology specialist at Mount Sinai Hospital where she earned the compassion award due to her good relationship with patients.
“When Krystal was in 8th grade, her mother's best friend passed away from breast cancer. It was this life-altering event that helped Krystal decide that Medical Oncology would be her specialty,” her husband's business website reads.
“Krystal is an avid runner and fitness enthusiast, who understands the needs to be fueled by clean and tasty ingredients. We are honored to have such an exceptional woman as part of the Talty Bar family.”
