Initial media reports listed the death as a suicide, but Pascarella said the case is classified as a death investigation. He didn’t say whether foul play was involved.

The Palm Beach Post reports construction was being done on the home.

A rep for Rosie O’Donnell, who is in the process of buying the home, said: “This is a terrible tragedy, and we’re not commenting at this time.”
