OLD ORCHARD BEACH – Maine state police say they are investigating the deaths of a husband and wife found shot to death in their home in the seaside town of Old Orchard Beach as a murder-suicide.

Sgt. Chris Harriman said a family friend found 55-year-old Bruce Savoy and 50-year-old Stacey Savoy inside their Pleasant Street home shortly after 9 a.m. Tuesday. Nobody heard gunshots, but police think Bruce Savoy shot his wife late Monday afternoon before shooting himself.

Detectives say they found a handgun by the bodies and three suicide notes written by Bruce Savoy citing the pending breakup of his marriage.

Officials said Bruce Savoy worked as a code enforcement officer and part-time police officer in Wells, and that Stacey Savoy was a vice president at Unum Corp.
