"LAFAYETTE, CO — Lafayette police are investigating a possible murder-suicide after finding two bodies in a garage in the 1500 block of Harvest Drive. Police visited the home at about 10:30 p.m. Wednesday on a welfare check after a woman living at the residence failed to show up for work.
"Upon arrival, officers founds lights on in the home and observed a TV was on in a second-story room. After unsuccessful attempts to verbally contact anyone inside and banging on the door, officers began looking through windows of the home, police said. When they made their way to the garage, officers noticed condensation on the glass of the garage door. By shining their flashlights into the garage, officers were able to observe a pair of legs protruding from a vehicle inside.
"Officers accessed the garage, which was filled with exhaust fumes. After airing out the room, officers discovered the deceased bodies of an adult woman and a young girl, estimated at 9 or 10 years old, police said. Neither victim has been identified. Police have yet to notify next of kin.
"`At this time, we don't know if it was a murder-suicide or if this was an accident,` Lafayette Police Cmdr. Gene McCausey said, adding that the bright red skin tone of both victims is consistent with carbon monoxide poisoning.
"When officers entered the garage, the vehicle was no longer running. Police said they believe that it ran out of fuel while idling."
