Man found shot dead at Olivia Newton-John's home in Florida

The 42-year-old man didn’t live there and wasn’t related to the residents.

A MAN HAS been found dead from a gunshot wound inside a South Florida home owned by singer Olivia Newton-John and her husband.

Jupiter police Sgt. Scott Pascarella said that the victim is a 42-year-old man who didn’t live there and wasn’t related to the residents. Pascarella says the victim had permission to be at the home but wasn’t staying there.

Initial media reports listed the death as a suicide, but Pascarella said it’s classified as a death investigation. He didn’t say whether foul play was involved.

ABC News say the couple were out of town and not staying at the house. It is also believed that construction was being done on the home.

>The singer’s hits include ‘You’re The One That I Want’, with John Travolta from the 1978 movie ‘Grease’.

    It ia amazing what we can get from a death, yet, if it was a GAA managers daughter and she got killed because she ran up stairs to get biscuits, the country is in uproar, funny that, Madge XXX

    Nothing funny. Just a matter of relevancy. A GAA coach’s daughter is a tad “closer to home” than someone found dead in an ex-popstar’s garden in the U.S. It’s same reason why the Boston marathon bombing which killed 2 people got more media coverage that day than the Baghdad bombings also the same day….which killed over 50.

    She lives an interesting life. Didn’t an ex boyfriend of hers go missing at one time? He turned up safe and well in Mexico, so that ended well. Sorry for this other man’s family though.

    You know what, I’ve always been a follower of the Journal, for their stories, their upbeat realistic take on every day life, for their youthful, fresh, journalistic views. But it’s the commenters that turn me off reading. The Journal need to address this. The stories are good, it’s the vile, ugly people, who hide behind an email, who think its funny that someone is dead, that’s what annoys me. Deleting your app, off you go, and off ye go amd condone people laughing at the expense of others, because that is what the Journal is becoming. No better than a tabloid. Good luck.
