Two adults, a man and a woman in their fifties, were found dead inside their home in Seville on a Wednesday morning. The discovery was reported to the authorities by the National Police through a local agency and confirmed by official sources. The scene prompted an immediate police response and a thorough examination of the circumstances surrounding their deaths.
The investigation notes suggest the man sustained multiple injuries and a pattern of self-inflicted harm in some areas, including cuts and an overdose of medication. The woman’s injuries were described as severe, pointing to extensive trauma that may have occurred in the hours or days before death. Forensic teams later examined both bodies to determine the exact causes and circumstances surrounding the deaths.
Because of the physical state of the remains, authorities estimate that both individuals had likely been deceased for roughly two weeks prior to the discovery, though exact timelines are still under verification as autopsies proceed. The delays in finding them mean investigators are carefully reconstructing the sequence of events to understand whether there were contributing factors such as a domestic dispute or other context surrounding the deaths.
Upon completion of the initial autopsies, the medical examiners identified the cause of death for the woman as resulting from multiple injuries and significant chest and back trauma, with bleeding noted as a key factor. The man’s autopsy revealed no superficial wounds visible to the naked eye at first glance, but a comprehensive forensic review is continuing to ensure all possibilities are considered and documented.
Neighbors reported smelling an unusual odor emanating from the residence, which prompted them to contact emergency services. Firefighters assisted in gaining access to the home, after which the National Police entered the building and located the two residents. The length of time since death is a critical piece of information driving the ongoing investigation.
Both individuals were transported to the Forensic Anatomical Institute of San Jerónimo in Seville for detailed autopsies, with investigators looking to confirm the precise sequence of events leading to their deaths. In line with standard procedure, authorities are reviewing all potential factors, including any prior history that could shed light on what happened inside the home. Statements issued by government officials emphasize the seriousness of domestic violence as a public issue and reiterate the commitment to pursuing a full, transparent investigation while supporting victims and communities affected by such tragedies. The case has drawn attention from local authorities and public safety agencies as they work to determine what transpired and to prevent future harm in similar settings.
