A Florida doctor and a woman were found dead in what police are investigating as an apparent murder-suicide in Coconut Creek.
Officers responded to a home in the 4800 block of Acardian Trail after receiving a disturbance call around 4 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 3, authorities said, according to NBC 6, WPLG Local 10 and the Miami Herald.
Police identified the man as 34-year-old Jean Dominque Foureau, NBC 6 reported. The woman’s name has not been released. Authorities said the two share a child and were previously in a relationship, the Herald reported, citing a police spokesperson. Investigators believe Foureau shot the woman before dying by suicide, according to the outlet.

According to his LinkedIn profile, Foureau was a chief resident in the emergency department at Broward Health Medical Center and also served as a battalion surgeon in the Florida Army National Guard.
Broward Health said in a statement shared with WPLG Local 10 that Foureau previously completed part of his medical training in its system, but that relationship ended last year. “While he completed a portion of his medical training within our health system, that training concluded in 2024, and he has had no affiliation with our organization since then,” the statement said.
Police said the investigation remains ongoing, according to the reports.
