Death In The Friend Zone

"LAKELAND, FL — Two bodies were found at a Lakeland residence Saturday after an apparent murder/suicide occurred Friday, a Polk County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman said Sunday.

"Margaret Scott, 72, was found on the dining room floor of her former boyfriend's house at 9830 Moorhen Drive with a gunshot wound to her face, said Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Carrie Eleazer.

"Her body and that of Joseph Sandrini, 73, were found by her daughter and son after Scott didn't show up to take her daughter to a soccer tournament.

"Sandrini was found on a couch with a gunshot wound to his head, Eleazer said.

"It appears that Sandrini shot Scott and took his own life, she said.

"According to Sheriff's Office interviews of friends and family, Scott recently ended her relationship with Sandrini, but wanted to remain acquaintances with him and help him with his health concerns."
