Officers were sent to the home after a 911 call and found the two adults dead inside, officials said.

Salem police said the investigation was centered on a home on Bodwell Avenue. Police tape was seen around the home Saturday evening as police continued investigating.

The people who were found dead haven't been publicly identified, but Lauren Demers said it was a shock to learn from police that her neighbors, a couple in their 40s who had lived at the home for about three years, had died.

"They were very quiet, very sweet, very nice any time we spoke with them, and now they're gone and I can't believe it," Demers said.

Other neighbors were shocked as well, though they said that police knocked on doors to let them know there was no threat.
