UPDATE: Man and woman found dead in rural Shuswap home identified

(UPDATE: Nov. 12 @ 4 pm): The RCMP has confirmed that the two people found dead in a rural home near Shuswap Lake last week died in a "tragic" and "isolated event."

They have also been identified as a man, 62, and woman, 60, who knew each other.

"The identity of each of the deceased person discovered inside the home has been confirmed by the RCMP and the BC Coroners Service," said Cpl Jesse O’Donaghey.

"Furthermore, I can confirm that RCMP continue to believe that this tragic incident was an isolated event.

"No suspects are being sought at this time, nor is there any danger to the public."

(UPDATE: Nov. 6 @ 12:50 pm): Mounties are still securing the scene in rural Anglemont after two people were found dead in a private home near Shuswap Lake.

Police were informed about the bodies at about 3.40 pm on Nov. 5.

They were at a property along Fraser Road.

"Police are treating both sudden deaths as suspicious in nature at this time," said Cpl Jesse O’Donaghey.
