Two found dead in Cochise County; investigations continue

Two deaths under investigation

Two people were found dead in Cochise County, and investigations into the deaths are continuing.

An ongoing investigation does not establish how either person died or whether the two deaths are connected. Those determinations depend on the findings of investigators and any medical examinations conducted as part of the cases.

Questions remain

The circumstances surrounding the deaths have not been established. The discovery of a body alone does not determine whether a death resulted from natural causes, an accident, suicide or homicide.

Likewise, the fact that two people were found dead in the same county does not by itself show a connection between the cases. Investigators must examine each death and determine whether evidence links them.

What comes next

Future official updates may identify the agencies handling the investigations and clarify where and when the two people were found. Authorities may also release the identities of the deceased after required notifications.

Medical findings could determine the cause and manner of each death. Investigators may separately announce whether the cases are related and whether there is any known public-safety concern.
