A trio of grown siblings and relatives—three brothers, two women, and one man—aged roughly between seventy and eighty years old, were found deceased in their home in Morata de Tajuña, a town near Madrid. The discovery occurred on Thursday after authorities received information from local police and municipal records that raised concerns about their welfare.
Neighbors had not seen the residents for about a month. The household was well known in the community for hosting and participating in numerous social and cultural activities. Initial worries grew when calls and messages went unanswered, leading some residents to assume they were away on holiday or simply uncontactable for a period.
Following the relevant court order, local police officers together with Civil Guard agents entered the residence and located three people inside who were confirmed dead. The presiding judge on duty initiated the process of removing the bodies, which will then undergo the customary autopsy to establish the causes of death. The Civil Guard has assumed responsibility for directing the ongoing investigation, with support from relevant judicial authorities.
Observers note that the case is being handled with the standards of care and procedural rigor expected in such matters, and officials have urged the public to respect the integrity of the scene while investigators gather information. This incident has prompted local authorities to review safety measures for residents who live alone and to reinforce communication channels between neighbors and municipal services. Authorities emphasize that the investigation remains active and ongoing, and updates will be provided as new details become available. [Source: Europa Press]
