Investigators say a semiautomatic handgun was found next to the man.

Police say the check-on-well-being call came after someone reported that the woman had not shown up to work in six days.

Neighbors told police the man and woman recently moved into the property.

It's unclear at this time if the incident is a double homicide or a murder-suicide, according to police.

The investigation remains active and ongoing.
