TWO “British” pensioners in their 80s have been found dead at a Costa Blanca home.
The bodies of the man and woman were found Thursday afternoon at 3.30pm at a home near the small town of San Fulgencio – a 45-minute drive south of Alicante.
Police have confirmed the grim discovery and said they are awaiting the results of a post-mortem.
A spokesman for the Civil Guard in Alicante said late last night: “The Civil Guard was informed about 3.30pm through the emergency 112 service about the discovery of the lifeless bodies of two people aged around 80.
“Firefighters were at the scene along with local police from San Fulgencio when we arrived.
“The Almoradi Territorial Judicial Police has taken charge of the initial investigations and a court in nearby Orihuela informed.
“The bodies have been transferred to Alicante’s Institute of Legal Medicine for the corresponding autopsy and full identification of both.”
The relationship of the pair is not yet clear.
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has been approached for comment.
It is known the dead pair were not man and wife but police investigators have not yet gone public with the nature of their relationship.
Staff at a local council social services department are understood to have raised the alarm after they failed to answer their calls and spotted part of a body lying on the floor inside the property.
The bodies of the pair,are believed to have laid undiscovered for several days.
Although the Civil Guard has not confirmed their nationalities, other sources confirmed local reports pointing to them being British.
