In a shocking turn of events in Flagler County, two real estate agents have been arrested following accusations of orchestrating a complex scam against a sickly couple from Ormond Beach. According to Volusia Sheriff Mike Chitwood, the agents took advantage of the couple's vulnerable state while they were attempting to sell their properties. The situation escalated dramatically when one of the agents allegedly signed a do-not-resuscitate (DNR) order on behalf of one of the victims, which ultimately contributed to the individual's death.

The investigation revealed that the agents had been manipulating the couple's circumstances, preying on their health issues and desperation to sell their homes. This deceitful scheme has raised serious concerns about the ethics and integrity of real estate practices in the area. Community members are outraged by the betrayal of trust, and authorities are urging anyone who may have been affected by similar tactics to come forward. The case highlights the critical need for vigilance and accountability within the real estate industry.
