Deputies say a mother and daughter both died from gunshot wounds to the chest and there is no evidence that anyone else was involved in their deaths.

The bodies of 39-year-old Diamond Lee and 58-year-old Mary Lee were found inside a mobile home on Perkins Road in Pikeville Wednesday evening.

Wayne County deputies say at this time there are not actively looking at any other person being involved in the two deaths.

They say all evidence so far indicates this was either a murder-suicide or both had a suicide pact and they carried out their plans.

A profanity-laced message was written on the front door of the mobile home.
