A man is believed to have jumped to his death at the junction of the 134/2 Freeways minutes after police reportedly found his brother's body
LOS ANGELES, CA — The mysterious appearance of two bodies found far apart from each other in Glendale Wednesday morning are being investigated as a possible fraternal murder-suicide involving twin brothers.
Authorities are trying to get to the bottom of the mystery and have as many questions as answers early on into the investigation. Neighbors of the victims told reporters the two dead men were twins, but police did not confirm the report Wednesday.
Police were called to apartment complex on Northwoods Lane near Pennsylvania Avenue at about 3:30 a.m., said Glendale police Sgt. Dan Suttles. There they found the body of a man in his 50s, according to Suttles. The manner of his death was not immediately revealed.
