CELEBRATION, Fla. — A married couple in their 80s were found dead in their Celebration home on Thursday morning.

• Senior married couple found dead in Celebration
• Resident: "We never have problems around here"
• Gun recovered at the home, Sheriff Russ Gibson says

Celebration is a quiet and calm neighborhood where crime rarely happens.

"This is the safest place in the city. We love this place," said resident Jose Darocha, who was heartbroken after his two neighbors near East Park Drive and North Village Street were found dead.

The 83-year-old woman was found dead inside the home, and her 84-year-old husband was found on the lawn in the backyard.

"It's very surprising, because it's a very calm neighborhood, and we never have problems around here," he added.

Their identities aren't being released until Osceola County Sheriff's investigators can contact their families.

Sheriff Russ Gibson said on the surface, this appears to be a murder-suicide but cannot say for sure just yet. A gun was recovered on the scene, but the cause of death needs to be determined by the Medical Examiner.

Gibson said seniors often feel like they don't serve any value due to their age, and he wants younger adults to reach out to them.

"If you can engage with them and listen to some of their examples, you can really learn a lot from these folks. They are not used newspapers to be thrown out," he said. "They're very much a part of our society and community, and we can learn a lot from them if we just give them half a chance."

Darocha hopes this family can somehow find peace despite this hardship.

"People have their own family issues sometimes. I know everything will be all right with the neighbors, with the family. I hope the best for the family of these people," Darocha said.
