CHINO HILLS, Calif. —

San Bernardino County authorities say a Chino Hills man apparently killed his 7-year-old daughter and himself.

The bodies of 50-year-old Carl Jacobson and his daughter, Katie, were found around 9:30 p.m. Saturday by the man's wife when she returned home after visiting other relatives.

The Sheriff's Department says the bodies were found in separate rooms.

Neighbors say Jacobson had been unemployed for several months and may have had financial problems.

The deaths remain under investigation but sheriff's detectives are treating it as a murder-suicide.

Chino Hills is 40 miles southeast of Los Angeles.
