A longtime legal adviser to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and his wife, a Seminole County elementary-school teacher, were found dead Monday in their New Smyrna Beach home, police said.

Investigators would not reveal how Steven G. Brady, 58, who retired recently after 23 years as regional legal adviser to the FDLE's Orlando operations center, and Pamela Palmer Brady, 56, died.

Police went to the couple's home on Cedar Avenue about 9:35 a.m. after Pamela Brady failed to show up for work at Crystal Lake Elementary School in Lake Mary, where she was a second-grade teacher, Seminole County Schools Superintendent Bill Vogel said.

"We're very saddened by this tragedy," Vogel said.


In a statement, Joyce Dawley, special agent in charge of the FDLE in Orlando, praised Brady's professional dedication.

"Steve was both well-known and widely regarded, and was a friend to many within the law enforcement profession," the statement reads. "He touched all he knew with his sense of humor. His FDLE family will miss him deeply."
