JUPITER, Fla. (AP) - 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.

No other details were released. Calls to the singer's agent and manager weren't immediately returned.

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