VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. — A 57-year-old woman and a 59-year-old man died Tuesday afternoon in an apparent murder-suicide at a home near the Ormond-by-the-Sea neighborhood, the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office said.
Deputies were called shortly before 5:45 p.m. to a home on Seabridge Drive near Ocean Shore Boulevard, where they discovered the bodies of Gail Ann Still and Ronald Alan Still Sr., Sheriff’s Office spokesman Andrew Gant said.
The couple's daughter called 911 after she received a text message from her father indicating that he and his wife were dead, Gant said.
