Detectives are investigating the circumstances after emergency crews found an adult male submerged and pronounced dead, officials said.
On Friday, October 16, 2026, Broward Sheriff's Office deputies found Venezuelan singer Gustavo Enrique Ormo, known professionally as Gus Ormo, dead in his Weston backyard swimming pool.
Detectives are investigating the "suspicious incident" after a rope was reportedly found leading into the pool near the body.
A 911 caller reported a possible drowning at about 9 a.m., stating the man was "tied up" and at the bottom of the pool.
The artist's sister, Antonieta Ormo, confirmed his death to local stations, while his body remains at the Broward County Medical Examiner's Office awaiting a cause of death.
Born in Maracaibo, Venezuela, the pianist and composer recently released the instrumental album AGAPE, which followed a 12-year development period.
