A real estate agent discovered a dead woman while showing a rural, vacant property to potential buyers, Washington authorities said.

The Clark County Sheriff’s Office responded to the property in Camas after getting a 911 call about the body on Sunday, Oct. 9, the Clark County Sheriff’s Office said in a Tuesday, Oct. 11, news release.

Deputies arrived to find the woman’s body with “what appeared to be a gunshot wound,” the sheriff’s office said, and called the “Major Crimes Unit (MCU) for a homicide investigation.”

During their investigation, which included interviewing nearby residents and collecting evidence, detectives “identified a possible person of interest,” the release said.

The next day, detectives found that the person of interest died in Oregon from “what investigators believe was a self-inflicted gunshot wound,” the sheriff’s office said.

The investigation, being conducted by Clark County investigators with the help of police in Oregon, is ongoing, the release said.

Camas is about 115 miles southeast of Olympia.
