The two people who died on Ryswick Lane last month had apparently been deceased for a while before authorities were notified.
According to dispatch records, Franklin County sheriffâs deputies were called to 29 Ryswick Lane, located in the residential neighborhood off Country Lane in east Frankfort, around 2 p.m. Jan. 23 for a well-being check on the residents.
Deputies found 59-year-old Michael Joseph Skaggs and 56-year-old Sheila Duncan dead inside the home.
Franklin County Coroner Will Harrod has not confirmed a cause or manner of death, and said it remains under investigation by his office and the sheriffâs office.
The dispatch log indicated it may be a murder-suicide, but Harrod would not confirm that this week.
The Franklin County Sheriffâs Office and the Franklin County Coronerâs Office are investigating the deaths of two people on Ryswick Lane in late January.
