Alexandria Police Investigate Two Suspicious Deaths;
Believed to be Domestic Related
Alexandria police are investigating two deaths that were discovered early this morning at approximately 12:38 a.m. in the 5700 block of Reading Avenue.
Late last night, police were called by a family member to check on the welfare of the victims. Police responded to the Hillwood at Mark Center apartment complex, and with the help of management staff, they entered the secured apartment. Inside they found the deceased victims; a 33-year-old male and his wife, a 31-year-old female. The victims’ identities are being withheld pending notification of next of kin. It appears that the deaths were domestic related.
An autopsy is expected later today to determine the exact cause of deaths.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call the Criminal Investigations Section of the Alexandria Police Department at (703) 838-4711.
