Police say the deaths remain under investigation and authorities have not identified an ongoing threat to the public.
SUFFOLK, Va. — Suffolk police are investigating the deaths of two people who were found inside a home in the 1100 block of Marston Street after officers responded to the property Tuesday.
Authorities have released few details about what happened before officers arrived or how the two people died. Police said both individuals were deceased when officers reached the scene. The cause and manner of their deaths remained under investigation, and officials had not publicly described the case as a homicide or announced any criminal charges.
The investigation began Sept. 8 and continued as detectives worked to determine the circumstances surrounding the deaths. Police have not publicly disclosed what prompted the initial response to the home, the exact time officers arrived or whether investigators recovered evidence from the property.
Authorities said there was no active threat to the public. That statement indicated police did not believe residents in the surrounding area faced an immediate danger connected with the ongoing investigation, but officials did not provide additional information explaining how they reached that assessment.
The identities of the two people were not included in the initial information released by Suffolk police. Officials also did not announce their relationship to each other or describe who lived at the residence. Police have not released a suspected motive or a detailed sequence of events leading to the deaths.
The limited information leaves several major questions unanswered, including when the two people died and what investigators believe happened inside the home. Police have also not publicly said whether another person was being sought in connection with the case.
Early reports from the scene described the investigation as centered on a residential property along Marston Street. Authorities did not announce evacuations or other emergency measures for the surrounding neighborhood, while police continued their work at the location.
As investigators gather evidence and determine the cause and manner of the deaths, any further conclusions will depend on information released by police and other agencies involved in the case. No arrests or charges had been announced in connection with the deaths in the information publicly available as of Thursday.
Suffolk police said the investigation remains ongoing. Officials have not announced when additional information, including the circumstances of the deaths or further identification details, will be released.
