OCEAN SPRINGS, Miss. (AP) – Jackson County sheriff’s deputies say they found two people dead in a motel room, and one victim’s gunshot wound was apparently self-inflicted.
The bodies were found by the housekeeping staff at a Motel 6 off Interstate 10 in the St. Martin community Monday afternoon.
Sheriff Mike Ezell has identified the victims as 28-year-old Varnasia Rena Frost and 39-year-old Myron Dewan Hall.
Ezell says the man and woman died of gunshot wounds, and the man’s wound appeared to be self-inflicted.
Ezell says the deaths remain under investigation, but officials are calling it a murder-suicide.
He says the exact time of their deaths is still not clear. The couple checked into the motel Saturday.
