They soon noticed “a lot of flies and a bad odor coming from one end of the house” and decided to make their way into the home, the spokesperson said.

As soon as they entered, the deputies heard a gunshot, according to the sheriff’s office. They found a 63-year-old man dead in a bedroom, having shot himself, and the body of a second man in another bedroom.
