Sarkissian was found dead in her home in Orange County on Friday, December 2, 2016, after a friend of Becher's contacted police to do a welfare check on her "based on comments" he allegedly made, according to NBC4 News.
Sarkissian was found dead about 1 p.m. after a friend of Becher asked police to conduct a welfare check at the woman's home in the 9300 block of Litchfield Drive, Huntington Beach Police Department Public Information Officer Jennifer Marlatt said.
In a tragic twist, Sarkissian's oldest son was at home playing video games when police knocked on the door. He had assumed she wasn't home, NBC4 News reported. Stay with RadarOnline.com for updates to the story.
