AURORA, Colo. -- A family member coming for a welfare check found two dead adults inside 2553 S. Killarney Court early Saturday morning, police said.
Children were home at the time, just before 5 a.m. police said.
"But I'm happy to point out that those children are safe right now and they're in the custody of family members here in the Denver metro area," Det. Bob Friel said, adding the tragedy was devastating for "two families" but that there were no suspects at large.
The common-law married couple had rented the home in September, according to the landlord who told 7NEWS the renters are Maria Duron and Art Medina.
The Arapahoe County coroner's office had not yet performed the autopsies as of late Saturday night, a spokeswoman said.
Neighbors said the family seemed very nice.
"They had twins that were a year old and 3-year-old twins," said Jeri Chavez, next door neighbor. "I've never even seem them argue. I just had no clue that nice people and it happens just right next door to you. It's pretty shocking actually."
"Yeah the wife was really nice. Energetic," said Ryan Collazo, the other next door neighbor. "I just saw them playing around a few times and never really got to know them. Like I said, they were kind of um, not really out and about a whole lot."
Neighbors told 7NEWS it was a nice, Latino couple that ran a business.
"They said they did a lot of deliveries and stuff. And that's all I know. I didn't see anything else I've never even seen them argue or anything," Chavez said.
The front door to the home was covered by a blue tarp Saturday afternoon.
After police had finished executing a search warrant, the front door was boarded up.
When asked if the deaths could've been the result of carbon monoxide poisoning, Friel said theirs were "violent deaths."
