JENSEN BEACH — Martin County Sheriff’s detectives are investigating the deaths of a husband and wife after their bodies were discovered on Saturday.

At about 4 p.m. on Saturday deputies responded to the home of Jeaneatte and Norton Euart after a caregiver discovered their bodies inside the couple’s Jensen Beach home in the 2500 block of Northeast Mildred Street, according so sheriff’s spokeswoman Rhonda Irons. The caregiver told investigators the couple had several health issues, Irons said.

Jeaneatte Euart, 76, appeared to have been shot several times, Irons said. Norton Euart, 84, had what appeared to be a single gunshot wound, Irons said.
