"It's just unbelievable. I'm still in shock," Ivan Colmenares said as he stood in front of his parents home on Rangerville Road in Harlingen.
It has been 24 hours since Ivan received the news that his parents were found dead inside of their home.
Harlingen Police told Action 4 News that Herlinda Trujillo was found on the couch and Jose Elias Colmenares was found hanging from a rope in the shed.
"They're all I had."
An only child, Ivan said his mother and father were everything to him.
His emotions are still raw---having lost both of them at the same time and with no idea as to why.
"Yesterday when I was turning down Rangerville Road--I'm used to my mom waiting for me,” Ivan said through tears.”It hit me…It's something that I'm never going to see again."
Ivan said he has learned very little about his parent’s death.
He said there is a lot of ‘he’ said, ‘she’ said---but nothing he wants to believe......that is…until he gets the official word.
"I don't want to think bad about my dad or my mother---I want the truth."
Ivan said he never planned for his parent’s death---both were in their mid-50’s. Now, to bury both has become a financial burden on the family.
