POCAHONTAS COUNTY — Two Manson residents were found dead in a rural Pocahontas County home Monday.

According to Pocahontas County Sheriff Steven Nelson, deputies responded to 32351 590th Street, north of Manson, where they found 61-year-old Lynnette Walstrom and 52-year-old Jeremy Schuttler, both of Manson, deceased.

The Palmer Fire Department was called in to test for the presence of carbon monoxide which they found not to be present.

Deputies found various drug-related items in the home. Preliminary tests confirmed the presence of fentanyl.
