While the police are investigating this as a murder suicide, the family feels VERY strongly that it is NOT.
Out of respect for the family, I did not include that unproven assumption in the title. :twocents:
Dad's facebook is here, Grandpa's can be found through it and he is commenting on the case:

Comments - many supporting the belief that this was an accident.

Police said Bryson Drew did not have a history of drug abuse, mental illness or alcohol abuse.

The deceased individuals were transported to the State of Utah Medical Examiner's Office where autopsies will be performed.
The cause of death for the child will be determined by the Medical Examiners Office.

Police said there have been no previous incidents requiring the attention of law enforcement at the residence or with Bryson Drew.

Neighbors remembered seeing Bryson Drew and Chanse playing together, riding bikes and four-wheelers.
The father and son appeared to have a good relationship.

The child was found in a bedroom on the main floor of the home with blunt force trauma injuries, Johnson said.
The boy's father was found in the basement of the home with a single gunshot wound to the head.

Bryson Drew's father, Delbert Drew, described his son as a devoted and loving father who never so much as spanked his son.
"Chanse was the apple of his eye," he said of his grandson and son. "He would do anything for his son. ... He loved his son and his son loved him, and it's devastating."
Delbert Drew said the family believes there was some sort of accident he referred to sharp corners in the Spanish Fork home, or suggested the duo's love of horseplay may have gotten out of hand that led to Chanse's death.
He said the family has some letters from Bryson Drew that they will keep private that showed "extreme remorse in what happened" but offered no details about what happened other than that the young father "felt he had really messed up."
"We may never know exactly what happened in those final moments in the house down there," Delbert Drew said. "Something went terribly wrong in a matter of moments."
-----------
"I'm not trying to make light of (what happened) and say there was nothing wrong, because there was something wrong, but it was something that happened in the spur of the moment," Delbert Drew said.
