ARLINGTON – An Arlington couple were found dead in their home Friday morning.

How they died remains under investigation by the Snohomish County medical examiner.

Investigators are calling the deaths suspicious.

Authorities did not release the name of the man, 67, or the woman, 66.

Snohomish County sheriff’s detectives were called about 8:15 a.m. Friday to the couple’s house, located in the 23500 block of Jordan Road.

A family member had gone to check on the couple and made the discovery, sheriff’s spokeswoman Rebecca Hover said.

Hover said she didn’t know when the couple had died.

Detectives say they didn’t find any sign of forced entry.

Investigators also don’t believe there is any threat to the neighborhood or community, Hover said.

The couple lived alone in the house.
