Forensic tests bid to solve triple death riddle

All three were found ‘unresponsive’ at a property in Oldham Road at 3.30pm on Monday when paramedics called police who were responding to a report of a concern for welfare.
Greater Manchester Police say they hope toxicology reports will reveal the cause of the deaths.

39 – and a 28-year-old
woman were found and sadly pronounced dead at the scene. “All three next of kins have been informed.

GMP
and are working with the relevant local agencies to ensure there is no wider risk to the public.
“An investigation is under way and no arrests have been made.”
Det Chief Insp James Faulkner, of GMP’s Oldham division, said: “My thoughts firstly are with the families of the two men and the woman who tragically have lost their lives - we are offering support to them at this awful time.
“It is important that we are able to establish the circumstances around this tragedy and get the answers for their loved ones through a thorough
and comprehensive investigation, and therefore we must keep an open-mind at this very early stage until we have the results of forensic examinations in due course.
“If anyone has any information they think could be linked to this investigation then I encourage them to speak to police or Crimestoppers as it could prove to be significant.”
