A handgun was found inside the house, and police are not currently looking for any suspects.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\">JSO is investigating the case and has indicated that the individuals involved may have been husband and wife, although this has not been confirmed. The caretaker, who saw the couple the day before, was the one who alerted authorities, police said at a news conference Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\">The incident occurred at the end of a dead-end road on Clements Woods Lane in the 1300 block. The caretaker, who regularly visited the couple, was reportedly the last person to see them alive, police said. She contacted the police after discovering the scene this morning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\">As the investigation continues, police are focusing on the couple\u2019s background to piece together the circumstances surrounding their deaths. <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.actionnewsjax.com\/live-breaking\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.actionnewsjax.com\/live-breaking\/\" target=\"_blank\"><b>&gt;&gt;&gt; STREAM ACTION NEWS JAX LIVE <\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\"><b>[DOWNLOAD: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.actionnewsjax.com\/mobile-apps\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><b>Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks<\/b><\/a><b>]<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\"><b>[SIGN UP: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/membercenter.actionnewsjax.com\/newsletters\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><b>Action News Jax Daily Headlines Newsletter<\/b><\/a><b>] <\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.actionnewsjax.com\/mobile-apps\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><b>Click here<\/b><\/a><b> to download the free Action News Jax news and weather apps, <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.actionnewsjax.com\/mobile-apps\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><b>click here<\/b><\/a><b> to download the Action News Jax Now app for your smart TV and <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.actionnewsjax.com\/video\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><b>click here<\/b><\/a><b> to stream Action News Jax live.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Action News Jax Top Stories<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 A couple &#8211; between the ages of 75 and 80 &#8211; were found dead in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":13940,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5136],"tags":[7285,5229,5673,6156,1540,8138,2332,2451,8139,4219,8140,3534,5375,3188,723,8141,7310,8142,3228,8143,8144,4531,8145,8146,8147,7207,8148,8149,5855,8150,8151,8152,4995,1409,8153,8154,625,8155,8156,314,6187,522,67,586,132,5230,8157,68,2969,6189],"class_list":{"0":"post-13939","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-jacksonville","8":"tag-accident","9":"tag-america","10":"tag-auto","11":"tag-automobile","12":"tag-blue","13":"tag-cab","14":"tag-car","15":"tag-city","16":"tag-cop","17":"tag-crime","18":"tag-criminal","19":"tag-emergency","20":"tag-enforcement","21":"tag-fl","22":"tag-florida","23":"tag-incident","24":"tag-jacksonville","25":"tag-justice","26":"tag-law","27":"tag-light","28":"tag-lights","29":"tag-officer","30":"tag-order","31":"tag-outdoor","32":"tag-patrol","33":"tag-police","34":"tag-protection","35":"tag-raid","36":"tag-red","37":"tag-road","38":"tag-roadblock","39":"tag-safety","40":"tag-security","41":"tag-sign","42":"tag-siren","43":"tag-sirene","44":"tag-street","45":"tag-taxi","46":"tag-theft","47":"tag-traffic","48":"tag-transport","49":"tag-transportation","50":"tag-united-states","51":"tag-united-states-of-america","52":"tag-unitedstates","53":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","54":"tag-urban","55":"tag-us","56":"tag-usa","57":"tag-vehicle"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13939","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13939"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13939\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13940"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13939"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13939"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13939"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
