DUNEDIN, Fla. — The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office (PCSO) confirmed there were two people found dead inside a home in Dunedin.
PCSO said deputies responded to a residence in the 1500 block of Mac Charles Court for a welfare check just after 8 p.m. on Monday.
Deputies said they attempted to make contact with 54-year-old Charles Reid Jr., but they were unsuccessful.
PCSO said deputies found entry into the home through "an unsecured door" and inside, they found 42-year-old Sarah Bulat deceased with a gunshot wound to head. Authorities describe Bulat as Reid's girlfriend.
As deputies continued to search the residence, they reported hearing a gunshot from the bathroom, where they found Reid unresponsive from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, according to PCSO. Officials pronounced him dead at the scene.
PCSO said detectives believe Reid killed Bulat and then took his own life.
The investigation is ongoing.
