Vancouver police are investigating the suspicious deaths of two seniors but say they do not believe anyone else was involved in the incident.

A 77-year-old woman and a 79-year-old man were found dead inside their home near Granville Street and West Fifth Avenue just before 5 p.m. Monday.  Investigators said Tuesday they are treating the deaths as suspicious.

Vancouver Police Sgt. Jason Robillard said the public isn't believed to be at risk. Investigators believe the couple died together inside their home.

The B.C. Coroners Service is also involved in the investigation.
