The bodies of an elderly man and woman have been found at a house in urbanisation Costa del Oro in Torrox.
A Guardia Civil patrol discovered the bodies at around 22:00 on Tuesday night. The house was occupied by an elderly Danish national who suffered from total lack of mobility and a woman who cared for him.
It is thought that the woman died first and the man at some later stage due to the lack of daily assistance he required. There were no initial signs of obvious and the cause of death will not be known until autopsies have been carried out.
