91-Year-Old Woman's Death Ruled a Homicide

When deputies discovered Carolyn J. Martin’s body in her New Port Richey home Tuesday, they said the circumstances were suspicious.

On Thursday, they announced the death had been ruled a homicide by the Medical Examiner’s Office.

According to the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office, the agency received a call about Martin’s death at 11:36 a.m. July 28. Initially it appeared that Martin, 91, had fallen in her 6626 Florida Ave. home, an email from the agency to media stated. Further investigation, however, led them to label the death suspicious.

More details in the case are not being released at this time, including the cause of death.
