Matthew Rissell, a serial entrepreneur known widely for founding the small business time tracking app TSheets, was found dead at his home in Eagle, Idaho, early Thursday morning. Ada County coroner Richard D. Riffle’s report noted that Rissell died from a bullet wound to the head, and was likely suicide. Rissell was 46.

After reports of gunshots, county sheriff’s deputies responded to a residence in the Wedgwood subdivision of Eagle in the pre-dawn hours on Thursday. They found Rissell deceased, along with a woman believed to be his wife, who was seriously injured by at least one bullet wound. The woman was transported to a local hospital where she is reported to be in life-threatening condition.

Rissell founded TSheets in 2006 with partner Brandon Zehm. The company was acquired by Intuit in 2017 for $340 million.
