John Chakalos, 87, of Windsor, Connecticut, known for his grand 6 million-light Christmas display was found shot and killed in his home on Friday morning.
He was well known in Chesterfield, New Hampshire, and the surrounding area for their elaborate Christmas display at the home they owned there.
The medical examiner's office ruled that Chakalos died of a gunshot wound to the head.
Detectives are working to piece together events in the weeks leading up to Chakalos' death, Lepore said.
For the past five years, the family has invited the public to drive through the estate and requested visitors donate money or nonperishable food for Joan's Food Pantry.
"Not only do they warm the heart of thousands of people who come through, they warm the hearts of hundreds of people in the community who benefit from food and cash donations," said Val Starbuck, a Joan's Food Pantry volunteer.
The Christmas display will continue this season, Washburn said, but she did not know if the Chakalos family would continue to light up the neighborhood in the future.
