The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed the deaths of Helen Cavins, 88; Harold E. Cavins, 81; and Mark W. Cavins, 60. Causes and manners of death had not been released as of Thursday.

Police said two people were found dead at the home and a third was taken to a hospital, where that person later died, according to reports.

The Buffalo Grove Police Department said its investigation remains incomplete pending a final report from the medical examiner’s office.

“Currently there is no indication of foul play, and we are not investigating this as anything but deaths resulting from natural causes and/or substance abuse,” police said in a statement to NBC Chicago.

Police said two of the elderly people had been in hospice care before their deaths.

“We recognize how coincidental these unfortunate deaths appear, but there is nothing leading us to believe foul play was involved at this time,” police said.
