Three adults were found dead inside an Oklahoma City apartment on Sunday, and police are now treating the case as a suspicious-death investigation. The bodies were taken to the Oklahoma Medical Examiner's Office for autopsies, and investigators say they still do not know what caused the deaths. Authorities said they expected to release more information Monday.
Police response and scene
Oklahoma City police said officers discovered the three bodies in an apartment near North May Avenue and Northwest 5th Street and confirmed all three victims were adults, according to KOCO. As detectives worked the scene and collected evidence inside the unit, the bodies were transported to the Medical Examiner's Office, and police said the deaths were being investigated as suspicious.
Context and earlier cases
Details in the current investigation remain sparse, but it is not the first time this year that three people have been found dead in an Oklahoma City apartment. In January, officers also recovered three bodies in a northwest Oklahoma City unit, as three bodies in an apartment reported. Authorities are handling each incident as a separate case while they work to determine the cause and manner of death in the latest discovery.
What to expect next
Police told KOCO they expect to have more information Monday. Investigators have not publicly identified the victims, and detectives continue processing the scene and running down leads as they wait for autopsy results.
