Madonna said foul play is not suspected, but the exact cause of death is under investigation by the Delaware County Medical Examiner's Office.

"We are also looking to see if any factors inside the home may have led to the deaths," Madonna said. "It is important to note that the homes surrounding the residence, and the community in general, were never at risk of harm. If we believed that to be the case a community notification would have been made by our borough."
