Police are investigating after two people were found dead inside a home and a third person died in the hospital following a well-being check in Buffalo Grove Tuesday morning.
The Buffalo Grove Police Department responded around 7:45 a.m. Tuesday to the 200 block of Timber Hill Road in Buffalo Grove for a call of a well-being check.
Officers arrived and found two people deceased inside the home, police officials said.
The Buffalo Grove Fire Department responded and transported a third person from the home to a local hospital.
Two of the victims were an elderly married couple in their 80s, police officials said. The third person was a man in his 60s.
The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office responded to the scene and to the hospital to take possession of the three.
A preliminary investigation indicates the couple’s death was coincidental, police said.
The couple, who lived in the home, had been in a hospice program and someone from the program called authorities to conduct the check on them.
The investigation is ongoing as final reports are being awaited from the medical examiner. “… we are not investigating this as anything but deaths resulting from natural causes and/or substance abuse,” police said.
No foul play is suspected in the deaths, which remain under investigation by the Buffalo Grove Police Department.
