Deputies doing a welfare check at 22535 Stillwood Drive discovered the bodies of a man and woman around 1:00pm Thursday. The home is in the Lake Padgett Estates neighborhood.

According to the Pasco Sheriff's Office, 2 coworkers of the female victim called 911 after discovering the two bodies. The coworkers came to the home because the female victim did not show up for work.
