Officials have ruled the deaths of two people whose bodies were discovered during a house fire in Hancock County a murder-suicide.
Firefighters found two bodies while fighting a residential fire at 23 Old Dam Way in Great Pond on May 20.
An investigation later revealed that Ryan Devisme, 38, of Aurora set the house on fire before shooting himself, according to a news release from the Maine Department of Public Safety sent Tuesday, July 24.
It was unclear what killed the house’s resident, Marie Robbins, 35, but the state’s chief medical examiner ruled her death a homicide, according to the release.
“Robbins and Devisme were in a former relationship together,” the release stated. “No other information is being released at this time.”
