Additionally, after killing her two children, 15-year-old Jacqueline and 16-year-old Alexander, Jennifer Berman left a suicide note on the counter in the kitchen, next to two open bottles of wine.
'I am so sorry to those that are hurting because they loved us...,' a portion of the note, obtained by CBS12.com, read.
The rest of the note was not released along with the autopsy report.
The bodies of all three were found by the children's father - Jennifer Berman's ex-husband - Richard Berman, 51, shortly after the January 13, murders and suicide.
In a dramatic 911 audio recording, Richard Berman is heard frantically rushing to the home he once shared with his family immediately after his ex-wife had told him of her crazed intention to murder their children.
Despite the dispatcher's repeated warnings, he went inside and encountered an unimaginably grisly scene.
'He’s not moving, there’s blood on his ear,' the luxury realtor manages to sputter after finding the body of his 16-year-old son. 'I can’t believe this is happening.'
In the tense moments before it became all too clear that 15-year-old daughter Jacqueline and son Alexander were shot dead by their own mother, Berman told the 911 operator he was terrified to enter the house.
But then a neighbor decided to enter the home in his stead and moments later came back screaming, according to the Palm Beach Post.
'There's blood on the walls,' the shocked neighbor yelled.
'It looks like she's laid in bed but she doesn’t have a face,' the neighbor added. 'I think the girl's up in bed with her but when I saw what was upstairs I had to run back downstairs.'
That's when, in the frenzy of the moment, Berman entered the home and saw the horror for himself.
'I was just all touching his head and he wasn’t waking up. His alarm was on and there was blood in his ear,' he said, his voice cracking.
Police then arrived and confirmed the worst.
