BOSTON -- The Web site of a couple found dead after what police called a murder-suicide foretold the date of their deaths.Christian Mogensen, 61, and his wife Sharon Glassman, 60, were found dead in their Boston high-rise apartment early Monday.Boston Police were called to a standoff about 9:30 p.m. Sunday at the Charles River Park apartments at 10 Emerson Place, after a man called them to say he had killed his wife and would kill himself.The Web site, mrmogensen.com, which was owned by Glassman, shows a picture of the couple on their wedding day, the dates of their births and deaths and “R.I.P.” for each.Both were found dead of gunshot wounds inside their apartment by a police SWAT team after a lengthy standoff.Many residents were evacuated from the building during the standoff, while others watched armed police come and go from the building via closed-circuit televisions in the complex.Mogensen's Web page described him as a self-employed Web developer and someone "possessing outstanding communications and people skills."Glassman was employed by Brigham and Women's Hospital. “Sharon was a vibrant and beloved member of our community. We offer our support and our prayers and extend our sympathies to her family and friends,” the hospital said in a statement.
