COQUITLAM, B.C. – The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team in British Columbia says two bodies found in a Metro Vancouver home on Monday were those of a father and son.

Police spokesman Sgt. Frank Jang says in an email the bodies of an eight-year-old boy and a man in his 40s were found in a Coquitlam home.

Jang says police aren't looking for further suspects but their investigation continues.

A autopsy was completed this week, but Jang says they aren't commenting on the cause of death for either the father or the son.

Police said in a news release earlier this week that one of the people who died in the home was the victim of a homicide.

Police said they were called to the home at about 3:30 p.m. on Monday.

This report by The Canadian press was first published Oct. 26, 2019.
