The bodies were discovered during a routine check after concerned neighbours alerted authorities about the lack of activity at the residence over several days.
According to preliminary findings, the deaths appear to be a case of mass suicide, though a formal inquiry is underway to establish the exact sequence of events and circumstances that preceded the tragedy. The identities of the deceased and their family relationships are being documented as part of the standard police investigation procedure.
