MONTREAL — Police in Laval, Que., are investigating the deaths of a man and a woman in their 70s.

Police in the Montreal suburb say the couple’s son called 911 shortly after 7:30 p.m. Saturday, after finding the bodies of his parents in their home.

Police spokeswoman Const. Stéphanie Beshara says police believe the deaths may have been a homicide followed by a suicide. She says an autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of the deaths. 

The names of the couple, a 71-year-old woman and a 75-year old man, have not yet been released.

Meanwhile provincial police say they are investigating a separate incident in Dunham, Que., around 100 km south-east of Montreal, in which another couple was found dead in their home late Friday afternoon.
