Mystery as two decomposing bodies found in separate rooms at Texas apartment as cops probe cause of death

POLICE are investigating a double death mystery after two decomposing bodies were found in separate rooms of an apartment.

It is not clear how long the man and woman had been dead before they were found in Houston, Texas, yesterday.

Officers called to the apartment just before noon found the bodies in separate rooms.

They were in “a state of decomposition” with no immediately obvious injuries, a source told ABC13 News.

Investigators hope an autopsy will shed some light on what happened.

A detective at the scene said they were looking at the possibility the two people died from natural causes or a drug overdose.

Last month police found four bodies in a bloodbath at another apartment in Houston.

Reports claimed a dad killed his wife, mother-in-law and four-year-old daughter before turning the gun on himself.

The carnage was discovered after the alleged gunman failed to arrive at work.

He and his wife were going through a divorce, police said.

The dad is said to have ambushed his estranged wife as she took their daughter to daycare before heading to work.

Sherriff Ed Gonzalez said: “It just breaks your heart. Why take the lives of a mother-in-law, a child of all people? We just can’t fathom, but we see it far too often.”
