The police say the deaths appear unrelated and do not pose a threat to the public.
Tidings Insight
When police say cases appear unrelated and no public threat, it usually means no evidence links the scenes or suggests an ongoing danger. Details can stay limited until investigators confirm cause and timeline.
This is an ongoing investigation.
