Investigators said the other two deceased individuals were a 41-year-old man and a 36-year old woman.
The identities of the deceased, and their relationship to one another, were not disclosed by police.
Post-mortem examinations have been completed, police said, but the causes of death were also not released.
Officers were first called to the home on MacKay Drive at approximately 4:15 p.m. last Thursday to check on the “wellbeing of the occupants.” It’s unclear who made the call to police.
A homicide investigation followed, but police said at the time there was no threat to public safety.
