South Euclid — The two men found dead after a standoff in South Euclid on Saturday have been confirmed to be the sons of a Beachwood doctor found dead in his home last week.
The Medical Examiners report says 31-year-old Michael Warn and 29-year-old Mark Warn committed suicide in the home where they lived, sometime during the standoff.
Michael died by shooting himself in the mouth. Mark died by shooting himself in the head.
The deadly standoff began at their home on Elmwood Drive in South Euclid after Beachwood Police showed up with a search warrant Friday night.
The two men lived in the home, but county records show it was owned by their father, Beachwood Podiatrist Dr. Richard Warn. Dr. Warn was found dead in his home Thursday from multiple gun shot wounds.
Police say they were looking into the sons as persons of interest in their dad's death.
When Beachwood and South Euclid officers showed up Friday, someone began firing from the home. Officers fired back
SWAT eventually smashed through the front of the home, but still didn’t get in,
Police tried communicating with the brothers for several hours, when they eventually discovered the men were dead.
We understand that the sons' mother and Dr. Warn divorced in 2003.
On Monday, neighbors up and down Elmwood Drive painted a better picture of brothers 29-year-old Mark Warn and 31-year-old Michael Warn to WKYC's Dawn Kendrick. You can watch her report in the player below:
Marian Werfel has lived across the street from them for the last seven years. That's when she says she first met their father, Dr. Richard Warn, when he bought the house for his two sons.
"I guess the boys came from an apartment where they were causing problems there too. So he wanted to get them out of the apartment and into a home so they could be there by themselves," said Werfel.
"We had confrontations with them over fires we had in the backyard. They would call the cops on us. Neighbors across the street, before they moved, had problems with them. If you parked 3 feet from their driveway, they call the cops on you," said Werfel.
It was the same story from every neighbor, like Richard Greene.
"They must have been very paranoid. There were a couple kids throwing water balloons at each other and they called the police on them," said Greene.
On Monday, South Euclid Police were back at the house along with men from the Jewish community responsible for the tradition of making sure all body parts of the deceased are kept with the body.

Werfel says no one had any reason to suspect drugs being dealt or used in the home. No one was ever over except dad, she said, and even he stopped coming around.
"I haven't seen him for 3 years. He used to bring over groceries. No other family member, never a friend over there. They just stuck together. They were a team," Werfel said.
Kids, who dad supported even as adults, according to Werfel.
"I mean he was a loving father. A really, really good man. A kind man. He bought them a house and two cars. He did so much for those boys. Even paid my brother to cut their lawn. And all the bills and the mail never even came to that house. Dad paid for everything. I asked the mailman, don't you even deliver ever to that house? He said nope," Werfel says and shakes her head.
The Bureau of Criminal Investigation says it was asked to lead the investigation. In the meantime, Beachwood Police plan to hold a press conference on Tuesday.
