MANSON, Iowa [WHO-TV] — The Pocahontas County Sheriff’s Office is investigating after two people were found dead in a rural Manson home on Monday. Just before 8:30 a.m. on March 10, the PCSO says it responded to a report of two deceased people at a 32351 590th Street. Authorities identified Lynnette Walstrom, 61, and Jeremy Schuttler, 52, both of rural Manson, as the deceased individuals.
The Palmer Fire Department conducted tests to determine whether carbon monoxide was present in the home but none was detected. Various drug-related items were found in the home and preliminary tests indicated the presence of fentanyl. The PCSO said the deaths are believed to be drug-related, pending toxicology results from the Iowa State Medical Examiner’s Office.
No foul play is suspected, according to the PCSO.
