Police say homicide is suspected in the deaths of a Creighton University professor and his wife at their home in west-central Omaha.

The bodies of 65-year-old Roger Brumback and 65-year-old Mary Brumback were found just before 10 a.m. Tuesday inside the home. Officers were sent to the home after a man who planned to move or buy a piano from the couple saw Roger Brumback’s body.

No arrests have been reported. Police have not said how the Brumbacks were killed.

Roger Brumback was a physician and researcher and had been chairman of the Pathology Department at Creighton University from 2001 to 2010.

Mary Brumback wrote a book about fiber and weight control with her husband in 2006.

Douglas County records say they bought their home in 2001.
