Police have identified 49-year-old mother Julie Rush as one of the two people killed inside a Rockhampton home on Monday night.
The ABC has confirmed Ms Rush was the wife of Rockhampton anaesthetist Dr Andrew Carll — the other person found dead at the property.
Police said the bodies of the couple had been transported to Brisbane for post mortem examinations.
Detective Senior Sergeant Luke Peachey said both people appeared to have died from gunshot wounds, but that police were still trying to piece together exactly what happened.
"Through statements we've obtained, as well as forensic evidence, we're getting a closer picture of exactly what's happened," he said.
"Until such time as those [post mortem examinations] have been conducted we won't speculate on any, I guess, surrounding circumstances but hopefully after that time we will have a clearer idea of exactly what's occurred."
Senior Sergeant Peachey said it was a tragic event and that police had been working closely with the family.
"I believe she (Ms Rush) has three children ... they're obviously very, very shaken up," Senior Sergeant Peachey said.
"At this stage we can identify that a male family member who lives at that address has found both the bodies."
He said police had no suspects in relation to the deaths.
"We're currently very confident and happy with the information we have to date.
"The investigation is still ongoing at this stage, the crime scene is still active, forensic officers are still there.
"We believe that scene will be released to us tomorrow, at which stage we'll be able to hand that back to the next of kin."
Sister confirms victims' identities
Dr Carll's sister, Mary Carll, confirmed on social media that her "baby brother and his wife" were the two people killed.
Ms Carll said in the post she had not received any updates from police on the circumstances surrounding the death of her brother, who was 17 years her junior.
She said her two sisters, her brother and his wife had travelled to Australia to assist with the investigation.
She said she felt like a "stunned mullet" and that her family felt the same way.
'We talked about rugby'
Cara Bartlett, a former patient, described Dr Carll as "caring and friendly and funny".
Ms Bartlett said she first met Dr Carll during the caesarean birth of her second child 16 years ago.
"I've had plenty of surgeries over the years, and he just stuck out in my mind because he was so caring and friendly and funny," she said.
Ms Bartlett said she was awake for the procedure and Dr Carll joked with her during the operation.
"We talked a bit about rugby, because we both love rugby.
"I do remember him lecturing me about how hard three children is because I was about to have my second and he was like, 'don't have three - it's too hard'.
"He was joking about how you've only got two parents and two arms and when you've got a third child it's so much harder because I think he'd recently had his third."
Julie Rush was listed on LinkedIn as an accountant working for Rockhampton Anaesthetic Group, where Dr Carll worked in association with his job at the Rockhampton Mater Hospital.
She studied a Bachelor of Science at the University of Otago, and began working in Rockhampton in 2005, some time after moving to Australia.
