Story highlights Motivational speaker John Littig and psychotherapist Lynne Rosen are found dead 
 
 Apartment manager: Note said, "I can't take it anymore, my wife is in too much pain." 
 
 Their "Pursuit of Happiness" radio show spoke of personal development and growth 
 
 Two life coaches who hosted a radio show called "The Pursuit of Happiness" apparently committed suicide together in their Brooklyn apartment, police said. 
 
 Motivational speaker John Littig, 48, and his common-law psychotherapist wife, Lynne Rosen, 46, were found with plastic bags over their heads and a tube attached to a canister of helium, according to police. 
 
 Two suicide notes were found, police said. 
 
 The manager of the building, Hasan Boztepe, 51, said he smelled a strong odor coming from the apartment and broke down the door Monday morning after no one answered his repeated knocks. 
 
 He found the bodies sitting on a couch, holding hands. The canister with an open valve was on Rosen's right, he said. 
 
 Boztepe said he also found two suicide notes, one apparently written by a man and one by a woman. 
 
 In the man's note, Boztepe remembered the words: "I can't take it anymore, my wife is in too much pain." 
 
 "I was shocked. I am still in shock. I feel so bad for these people," Boztepe said. 
 
 He said he knew the couple and stopped by the apartment last week to fix something for Littig. "He walked me to the door and said 'thank you very much.' He was a very nice guy -- and a couple of days later, this." 
 
 The couple's radio show, "The Pursuit of Happiness," on WBAI-99.5 FM focused on "personal development, growth and creativity" according to their website. It was an hourlong show airing every other Thursday afternoon. 
 
 "RIP Lynne Rosen + John Littig. Partners on air and in life," the station posted Thursday on Facebook and Twitter. 
 
 The couple also led a life coaching consulting company, Why Not Now, offering coaching "designed to help foster and encourage your inner strengths," and "put you confidently on the path to designing the life you've always wanted to live," according to their website. 
 
 "You should try to do something that scares you every day," Littig said on a show in February. 
 
 "People really need to try to implement that into their lives," Rosen later added. "Even if it is small things and it feels scary; but it's a small step and it moves you forward toward your real self." ||||| Police have not said when the couple ended it all. But neighbors said they were told they had been dead for a week before they were found. And while a sheet of plastic covered the door to their apartment, building workers were spraying air freshener through the halls.
– A strong odor alerted building manager Hasan Boztepe that something was not right inside John Littig and Lynne Rosen's Brooklyn apartment. When no one answered his repeated knocks, he broke down the door Monday and found the two radio hosts dead in a double suicide. They were sitting on a couch holding hands, the manager tells CNN, and they had each left a note behind. Littig's read: "I can't take it anymore, my wife is in too much pain." As for Rosen's, it "basically said she was sorry for doing this," a police source tells the New York Daily News. “We believe she had some psychological problems." The life coaches, whose show was described as focusing on "personal development, growth, and creativity," were in a common law marriage. They had been together 20 years, a neighbor tells the New York Post. "John was a very nice person. Lynne kept to herself," the neighbor says. "She was always putting on a lot of weight and taking it off." Other neighbors didn't have such kind words. One called Rosen "kind of a cold fish," and another told the Daily News Littig was fond of banging on his drums in frustration at all hours and would "fly into these crazy rages and scream like a crazed animal." Neighbors have reportedly been told the couple was dead for a week before their bodies were discovered.
