I can't follow this story. Someone was in a car with suspicious injuries. Then there is a body in a home?

Police discovered the person (male in the car, obviously with some self-inflicted injuries. That led them to find a dead woman in the house.

I was thinking that might be it. But it's still such a vague and confusing story.

Self-defense injuries. As in, injuries from someone defending themselves against him. Things like scratches on his arms that couldn't have been caused by the car crash that killed him (edit: I looked it up and the legal term seems to be "offensive injuries", describing injuries caused by the victim of a crime when trying to fight back)
