Lee County Sheriff’s deputies investigate the scene of a home in North Fort Myers where two people were found dead Sunday.

NORTH FORT MYERS, Fla. Two people were found dead Sunday at a home near Hart Road, the Lee County Sheriff’s Office said.

The bodies were discovered at 15636 Royal Coach Circle after the sheriff’s office received a call at about 4 p.m., spokesman Tony Schall said.

The sheriff’s office isn’t looking for anyone in connection to the deaths and no danger to the public exists, Schall said.

Nearby residents said two sisters lived in the home, which is within a 55-plus age group community. Diana Hammond, who said she sold the place to the sisters a few years ago, detected some tension between the siblings within the past week.

Still, she never expected what she saw Sunday.

“I looked down and I saw the crime scene tape was up already, and there was police cars all down there, and I was like, whoa, what’s going on,” Hammond said. “Then when I realized where they were, my heart just broke.”

The sights and sounds of police cruisers, detectives and an ambulance with its siren and lights on shook the normally serene neighborhood.

“It’s just such a sociable neighborhood that it’s pretty much a shock,” Hammond said.

No further information was immediately available.
