Napanee Ontario Provincial Police are investigating after a woman was found dead and a man seriously injured at a duplex at 5 Creighton Dr. in Odessa on Valentine’s Day.

Police were called to the two-storey residence at approximately 11:55 a.m. When they arrived they found a 28-year-old Nicole Guimond deceased and Travis Sayyeau, 24, in serious life-threatening condition. Sayyeau was treated at the scene and transported to hospital by the Frontenac Paramedic Service and the Lennox and Addington Paramedic Service. He later died of his injuries. Post mortem examinations have been scheduled for Tuesday.

Sgt. Kristine Rae, OPP east region media relations, said OPP were called to the scene by a resident and told there was a situation. She said they are not speculating cause of death until released following medical examination.

Jason MacDonald, who worked with Guimond and Sayyeau at Summerhays Grill in Ottawa, said the couple just moved to Odessa, about 20 kilometres west of Kingston, in the last few months.

“Oh my God,” was all MacDonald could say at first after learning the news.

Guimond had worked at the restaurant for more than a year and Sayyeau was an employee there for much longer.

MacDonald said the couple moved to Odessa after Guimond’s mother offered them her house to live in while she was abroad.

Main Street was closed for a period Sunday morning, Creighton Drive a little longer, but has since reopened.

At 4 p.m., two OPP Forensic Identification Unit vans and numerous other OPP vehicles were parked along Creighton Drive with their heat blasting. Detectives sit in their vehicles writing notes or talking on the phone, and an officer with a camera and two others enter the home.

Two cars, an aqua-coloured Chevrolet Cobalt and a black Saturn Aura are parked in the driveway that is surrounded by yellow police tape.

The Napanee Crime Unit, under the direction of OPP Detective Insp. Peter Donnelly, Criminal Investigation Branch is continuing the investigation.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122.
