2 Deaths In Bucks Co. Remain Under Investigation

Authorities are still investigating the deaths of two people who were found Saturday afternoon in their Bucks County home. The people — a woman and a man — were found around 2 p.m. after police were called to conduct a welfare check at a home along the 1300 block of Langhorne-Newtown Road.

When officers arrived, they located the bodies of the victims, a 57-year-old woman and 66-year-old man. A vent-free propane fireplace appeared to be the primary heat source in the home, but it was not lit at the time officers arrived, the Bucks County Courier Times reported.

The victims appeared to have been dead for a few days, sources told that newspaper.

Police have said they are investigating possible carbon monoxide poisoning as a cause of death. Authorities are awaiting toxicology reports, which could take weeks.

The identities of the victims have not yet been released.
