SAN FRANCISCO

A 106-year-old widow and her 30-year-old caretaker died together in an apparent suicide pact at the home they shared, authorities said.
The bodies of Helen Godet and her caretaker of nine years, David Lund, were found Friday along with suicide notes indicating that Lund strangled the woman after she decided she could not take her own life, police said Monday.
Lund then swallowed a fatal dose of antifreeze, authorities said. The notes were dated Dec. 27.
"She was supposed to drink the poison, but she could not do it," said police Inspector Dennis Maffei. He said she signed a suicide note. "It said that she wanted to kill herself ... It was just time," the inspector said.
Police and social workers said that Lund, who never had children, and Godet had been inseparable after meeting nine years ago. Lund slept on the sofa in Godet's house.
