The coroner’s office says 51-year-old Malisa Kegg and 34-yr-old Michael Kegg III died of gunshot wounds to the chest.

Their bodies were found at the fire scene on State Road 64 near Francisco Tuesday morning.

Malisa Kegg is the former wife of 53-year-old Michael Kegg Jr., who has been charged with two counts of murder for the deaths.

Authorities say the two were shot before the fire.
