"Happy-Go-Lucky Guy" Kills Dad, Self

"ST. CLOUD, FL — Osceola County investigators say the deaths of a St. Cloud father and son have been ruled a murder-suicide.

"The bodies of 42-year-old Vincent La Verne Vaughn and his son 20-year-old Tyler Ryan Vaughn were found in a home Monday.

"After autopsies were performed, both Vincent and Tyler were found to be fatally wounded by a handgun. Detectives said they believe Tyler shot his father, then himself.

"Friends said Tyler worked at the Gold's Gym in St. Cloud and lived with his father. Some had just seen him less than 48 hours before he was found dead.

"`He's the type where he keeps everything to himself,` Brown said. `He works at Gold's. He's a good guy. He was such a good guy. He was happy-go-lucky. He's the type of guy that if someone walked in the door that he didn't know he'd open them with open arms. He'd give them a hug. 'Hey what's up? I'm Tyler Vaughn.' Just an all-around good guy.`

"The investigation of this case is ongoing."
