Former Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax was found dead Thursday after an apparent murder-suicide, TMZ has learned … and we have a livestream currently showing what’s happening outside of the house.

The Fairfax County Police Department tells TMZ … Fairfax, 47, and his wife were found dead at their home in Annandale, Va. of gunshot wounds with her body found in the basement and his in the bedroom.

We’re told cameras inside the home corroborate the account of a murder-suicide.

According to police, Fairfax shot his wife dead and then turned the gun on himself.

The former lieutenant governor served from 2018 to 2022 under Gov. Ralph Northam. He finished out his full term despite accusations of sexual assault brought by two women in 2019, which prompted calls for his resignation.

In 2021, he lost a governor race to Terry McAuliffe.
