1:10 A.M. — Lee County sheriff's deputies have not identified a man and woman found dead in an apparent homicide-suicide.
Their identities were not revealed Monday, two days after their bodies were discovered during a well-being check.
But an e-mail from a business the pair owned confirms their identities as John and Linda Ouellet, owners of a Punta Gorda-based Internet service company.
Lee County sheriff's deputies turned the bodies over to the medical examiner's office, which will conduct autopsies. Deputies found the couple Saturday in the Burnt Store Marina condominium they bought in 2005, according to property records.
The e-mail, from one of the couple's two sons, reads:
"Due the death of my business partner and father (John Ouellet Sr.) and our billing manager and my mother (Linda Ouellet) ... dealings with the company will be on hold until the family can attend to matters."
The company John, 55, and Linda, 51, Ouellet owned is called VSM for Virtual Sound & Motion Inc. Before moving to Florida, they lived in Londonderry, N.H., where they started several technology-based companies.
The last homicide-suicide to occur i
Lee was Sept. 2 in Lehigh Acres. In that incident, deputies say 39-year-old Winselsio Forde stabbed his wife Lisa, 33, before shooting the couple's 1-year-old son Caleb.
