SOUTHBURY -- Authorities are investigating the suspicious deaths of two people whose bodies were found Friday morning in a home here, authorities said.
"Preliminary information indicates that it may be a murder-suicide," said State Police spokesman Lt. J. Paul Vance, who would not provide further details.
Police were called to the home, on Chain Trail, about 9:30 a.m., Vance said. Authorities forced their way inside, where they discovered the bodies.
The three-bedroom, one-bathroom, 1,000-square-foot home sits just south of the Russian Village Historic District, according to the online home tracker Trulia.com.
The victims, whose names have not been released, were pronounced dead at the scene, according to Vance.
Land records show the home is owned by David and Sharon Detlefsen.
An autopsy to determine the cause of death will be conducted by the Office of the Chief State's Medical Examiner.
Authorities also discovered two bodies in Milford on Friday morning, in what police are also calling a possible murder-suicide, although the two incidents appear to be unrelated.
Vance said detectives from the Major Crimes Unit are leading the investigation in Southbury.
No further information was immediately available.
