Update
According to the Orlando Sun Sentinel:
"Hollywood police confirmed late Thursday afternoon the bodies of two people found nine hours apart in the Hollywood beach area were a murder-suicide. Police said George Haitz killed Renee Roth on the beach and then went back to his hotel room and took his own life. Police didn’t say how the two died, or specify ages or addresses for Roth and Haitz.
Roth was from Ohio, and Haitz from Kentucky.
Roth and Haitz had been in a domestic relationship for the past several years and that there was a history of domestic violence, said Christian Lata, spokesman for the Hollywood Police Department.
At roughly 6 p.m. Wednesday, police removed Haitz’s body from Room 61 at the Hollywood Beachside Boutique Suites on New York Street. Roth’s body was removed from the beach area earlier that day.
At 2:30 a.m. Wednesday, police were notified that her body was found in the surf."
They went on to quote from a Facebook Post:
Roth’s daughter, Rebekah, of Portsmouth, Ohio, turned to Facebook to announce her mother’s death and to raise funds for a burial.

She went on to explain that she was her mother’s only child and "have been hit drastically with this disturbing news. I have started a this donation account ... to help raise money to get her laid to rest.
“My world has been shattered ...” she said. “My mother was and still is the most free-spirited woman I have ever met, one full of love, laughter and pure joy. I will always be your little girl, Momma. I love you.”
