Chief Richard Ramsay of the Greenwich Police Department said authorities were waiting for information from the medical examiner's office, according to WJAR.

The station said police were called to a welfare check at the home when a resident did not show up to work.

Neighbors told WJAR the residents — believed to be a family of four — kept to themselves and were quiet.

West Greenwich police said on Facebook that there is no threat to the public at this time, and the investigation on Cheyenne Trail is ongoing.

No further information was immediately available.
