HAZLET, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) -- The deaths of a Jersey Shore couple were being investigated Monday night as a murder-suicide, authorities said.

Christine Dzienisiewski and her husband, Richard Dzienisiewski, both 37, were found dead in a Hazlet home on Saturday.

Monmouth County authorities told the Asbury Park Press that Christine Dzienisiewski's death was ruled a homicide, while her husband died as a result of self-inflicted wounds.

But they declined further comment, citing the ongoing investigation.

Authorities have said they are not searching for any suspects, and that the community is not in danger.
