They said they believe deaths of Mrs Jean Stevens and her sons Billy 3 and Bobby, 4 were double murder and suicide. The bodies were found in eight feet of water at nearby Stevens island with bricks tied to those of the children. Mortimer Stevens, who for several years has taken the family to the island for holiday was taken to hospital. He is believed to have suffered a heart attack after the bodies were discovered. They were found by his brother, Gordon, who owns the island. He said he saw them, those of the children on the bottom and that of Mrs Stevens on top, when the evening sun shone into the old boathouse. Their clothing was piled neatly nearby. Bricks Tied To Chests Police said each of the children had two bricks tied carefully to his chest and the woman had a rope around her waist which may have been tied to an anchor. Neighbours said the mother and children appeared a happy family during their three-day stay on the island. Mrs Stevens insisted that the boys keep away from the dock side and wear lifebelts when near the water, they said. Mr Stevens, who operates a hotel at Iroquois Falls, was on a fishing trip when the three disappeared. He said he was unable to give any explanation for the weekend tragedy but police said they heard Mrs Stevens had recently been despondent.
