The woman, widely reported to be Feebie McIntosh, was shot in the head and later died from her wounds at Caloundra Base Hospital, Queensland Police said.

"The man and woman were known to each other however preliminary investigations suggest this is not a domestic-related incident," a statement from police said on Friday.

"Both were visiting the Coolum Street address and friends of the home owner, a woman, who has now spoken with investigators."

Detectives are also questioning a 58-year-old man, who's not under arrest, who dropped the woman off at the hospital.

Police say he was known to her, but the nature of their relationship wasn't revealed.

Detectives have urged anyone with information about the shooting to contact them.
