ENCINO -- The husband of actress Catherine Bach, who played Daisy Duke on "The Dukes of Hazzard," has been found dead on the lawn of the couple's Encino home.
Peter Lopez, one of Michael Jackson's music attorneys, was found dead shortly after 11:30 a.m. on Friday at the home located on Woodvale Road, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
Officers were called to the scene on a report of shooting, police officials tell KTLA.
Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter says a neighbor reporting hearing a gunshot and someone at the home found Lopez's body.
Sources say Bach called police saying that her husband had shot himself.
When they arrived, Lopez was already dead from an apparent gunshot wound.
Police are investigating the incident as a possible suicide.
Bach married Lopez in 1990.
The couple has two children.
A spokesman for Lopez's law firm says he was Michael Jackson's music attorney until a couple years before the pop star died.
Bach and Lopez founded “C.O.A.C.H. For Kids” in 1998, an organization that provided free medical services for children from low-income families in Los Angeles County.
