JUPITER, Fla. – Authorities say a man has been found dead from a gunshot wound inside a South Florida home owned by singer Olivia Newton-John and her husband.

Jupiter police Sgt. Scott Pascarella said Monday that the unidentified victim wasn’t a resident or relative of the residents. He said the victim had permission to be at the home but hadn’t been staying there.

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.”

The singer’s hits include “You’re The One That I Want,” a duet with John Travolta from the 1978 movie Grease.
