Detectives began investigating Anthony Tomaselli's death as a homicide last month after a man dating both sisters called the sheriff's department and said Roberts, 62, had confessed to him that she and Mary-Beth Tomaselli, 63,"euthanized" their father because he was ill and would not go into an assisted living facility.
The sisters told deputies they performed CPR and called 911. Anthony, who had cancer, dementia and heart problems, was pronounced dead at the house, and it was initially determined that he died from natural causes, Gualtieri said.“There were no signs of foul play, no signs of criminal activity," he said."Nothing to indicate anything other than Anthony’s death was of natural causes given his advanced age and medical condition.
Gualtieri said that Mary-Beth Tomaselli added too much alcohol to the mixture and diluted the sleeping pills, so it did not work. The sisters then allegedly tried suffocating their father with a pillow, and when that did not kill him, Roberts stuffed a rag down his throat while her sister held his nose and arms until he died.
