Romeo and Juliet were found dead together in the Capulet's Tomb in the peaceful town of Verona. In Verona, the Montagues are known for being the Capulets Enemy. It is said that Romeo and Juliet where married but no one other than the Nurse and the Friar knew because the marriage was secret. Police that were investigating in this scene say that they both commited suicide after seeing each other dead. They say Juliet was pretending to be dead by drinking a potion that the Friar gave her. Although she was in a deep sleep everyone around her thought she was dead. After her funeral everyone had left and it is said that Romeo came into her tomb and after seeing Juliet dead he drank a poison and then he died. Not even 5 minutes after Romeo killed himself, Juliet woke up and in horror saw Romeo's dead body laying next to her, she then commited suicide. Mercutio and Tybalt also died throughout this whole scheme.

Statements from a Capulet: "The Nurse"

The nurse was a main witness in this investigation for she was one of the two who knew what was really going on between Romeo and Juliet. This is what she had to say when we interviewed her:
"I didn't know this was going to happen. All of this just went out of hand when Tybalt killed Mercutio and then Romeo killed Tybalt. This put a lot of stress in Juliet and must of given her this wild idea to drink the potion. All I did was just follow the orders Juliet wanted me to do. I didn't know my best friend was going to die from this whole love thing they were both going through.

Consequences

The Princes' punishment to the two households was not that harsh for he knew that they are going through some difficult times right now for the death of their loved ones. He said to stop this stupid hatred they had for one another and just give peace to one another. Both households agreed. The Prince then added that the only people who were going on trial were The Friar and The Nurse because they both knew what was going on and didn't tell him or anyone else. The Friar was banished from Verona for giving Juliet the potion which led them to kill themselves. The Nurse got 2 years of jail time for knowing about what was going on between Romeo and Juliet and not telling the Prince or any of the households.
