Elderly man, woman found dead in Seal Beach home

An elderly man and an elderly woman were found dead by authorities inside a Seal Beach residence on Wednesday, Dec. 27, though the circumstances surrounding their deaths were unclear.

Around 8:30 a.m., officers arrived at the home in the 600 block of Ocean Avenue, tucked between the San Gabriel River and Anaheim Bay, after receiving a concerned call from an out of state relative of the residents, according to the Seal Beach Police Department. The relative told dispatchers that their brother was having issues with their mother.

The officers were able to enter the house through an unlocked door after they were unable to contact anyone inside.

The man and woman were found dead inside the home, said Lt. Julia Clasby, though it was not clear where. Police did not say whether any weapons were found at the scene.

Information on the identity of the victims or their relation, if any, was not available on Wednesday. Seal Beach detectives and Orange County Coroner personnel were investigating. Police did not immediately comment on the the cause of the deaths, if known.
