Wilmington police are investigating the deaths of two people whose bodies were found in a N. Cleveland Avenue home.
The bodies, those of an 80-year-old man and an 80-year-old woman, had no obvious injuries, said New Castle County paramedics spokeswoman Sgt. Kelli Starr-Leach.
Officers discovered the deaths early this evening while responding to a request to check on the two residents. Neighbors said they had not seen the occupants since a snowstorm on Valentine's Day, but they noticed that newspapers had begun to pile up outside the home.
More information was not imediately available.
