ATTLEBORO — Chief Kyle Heagney and Chief Scott Lachance report that the Attleboro Police and Fire Departments are investigating after two adults were found dead inside a home on Wednesday afternoon.
At just before 11:30 a.m., police and firefighters responded to a home at 32 Andover Ave. after a health aide requested a health and welfare check.
After attempts to contact anyone inside were unsuccessful, first responders forced entry into the home and located an elderly adult man and an elderly adult woman dead. Investigators also located a dead cat inside the home.
Investigators found evidence of a significant fire inside the house. Through a preliminary investigation, the incident has been determined to be non-suspicious, but the causes of the deaths and the fire remain under investigation.
