According to the Sumter County Sheriff’s Department in Florida, Guy, 75, and Sandralee, 73, Holt were discovered in their The Villages home. The couple had moved to Florida in 2000.

Authorities said they were called for a wellness check after neighbors reported they had not seen the couple in several days.

When authorities searched the home they found the Holts on the floor of the master bedroom. Sandralee Holt died of a gunshot to the right side of her head and Guy Holt was found face down next to his wife. He also died from a gunshot wound to his head.
