RICHMOND, Ky. (AP) -- Police say a father who was found dead alongside his disabled daughter in an apparent murder-suicide had been out of work and was struggling to sell his home.

A family member found 43-year-old Richard Moore and his 13-year-old daughter, Kelsey, lying together on a mattress on the floor of his garage Sunday. The Herald-Leader in Lexington reports that Moore's truck had been backed into the garage and was left running.

Madison County Sheriff's detective Steve King says no suicide note was found. The newspaper reports that Kelsey had Kelsey had Angelman syndrome, a rare genetic neurological disorder.

King says Richard Moore had been trying to sell his home for nearly four years. Moore was recently divorced and a court filing says he had experienced a "dramatic drop in his income due to the economy."
