Poulin's PTSD diagnosis extended back to his three tours of duty in Afghanistan, in particular a devastating roadside explosion that killed a close friend and left him with a brain trauma.

Although Nova Scotia RCMP have not yet released the identities of the two people found dead in the home Tuesday afternoon, friends confirm that they were Marc Poulin, 42, and his fiancée, Jennifer Lynne Semenec, 45.

Police have yet to release the names of the two people whose remains were found inside the house, but friends and family are coming forward with their identities.
