TAVARES –\u00a0<\/strong>Lake County Deputies began an investigation into the death of a Lake County Jail inmate that occurred Saturday evening according to a press release.<\/p>\n

Deputies at the jail found 89-year-old inmate Carl Lange in his cell unresponsive and transported him to Florida Waterman Hospital where he was later pronounced dead.<\/p>\n

Lange was in a medical cell which was only occupied by himself due to his age and having multiple illnesses.<\/p>\n

Lange was jailed on March 11th, 2016 and charged with second-degree murder after shooting Rosemary Getz, his live-in girlfriend, and her dog.<\/p>\n

According to the original arrest report, Lange\u00a0called Getz’s son and told him he better get to the house “or else”.<\/p>\n

Getz’s son contacted Tavares Police and notified them. When police arrived, Lange was found in the home with a revolver and a notepad on the dining table.<\/p>\n

Lange admitted to police that he had just killed Getz and her dog and was in the process of writing a note before killing himself.<\/p>\n

After Lange’s arrest, detectives executed a search warrant of the home where they found the incomplete note Lange was writing before he was interrupted by police.<\/p>\n

The note read, “I am sorry to leave you a pole of work to handle. Your mother and I have had to do this. Both of us a….” with the last word never being completed.<\/p>\n

Lange has been in the custody of the Lake County Jail since his arrest in March.<\/p>\n

According to court records, Lange was scheduled for sentencing on November 21st.<\/p>\n

Deputies are still investigating Lange’s death, however, Lake County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson, John Herrell stated in a release that there were no signs of trauma and nothing about this death seems suspicious.
