The Press Association has confirmed that an “active investigation” is underway. However, Sheriff Mendoza reiterated that there was no immediate evidence suggesting foul play. He did not provide details on the time of death or possible causes.
Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to the residence in a gated community called Old Sunset Trail on Wednesday afternoon. It remains unclear if they were responding to a specific report of the deaths or conducting a welfare check.
Authorities have been tight-lipped regarding any potential circumstances surrounding the case. Mendoza initially stated, “All I can say is that we’re in the middle of a preliminary death investigation, waiting on approval of a search warrant.”
In an attempt to reassure the public, Mendoza told reporters, “I want to assure the community and neighborhood that there’s no immediate danger to anyone.”
