An 84-year-old man and his 79-year-old wife found dead Wednesday from apparent gunshot wounds in their home near Novato were identified Thursday by police.

Michael and Anita Puig De Vall were found dead by family members about 8:30 a.m. Wednesday on the 600 block of Bugeia Lane in an unincorporated area of Marin County, said Lt. Doug Pittman of the Marin County Sheriff’s Office.

Investigators were looking into whether the death was a murder-suicide.

Paul Bourke, who lived next door to the couple, said he would often see them outside of their home and wave, though he didn’t know them personally.

“I’m just shocked,” he said. “I’m sad to hear anything like this happen to anyone.”
