Two boys and their father were found dead inside a Spruce Grove, Alta. home Monday, a family member confirmed to Global News.

The bodies discovered inside the home were those of Corry MacDougall and his sons, 13-year-old Ryder MacDougall and 11-year-old Radek MacDougall, Global News confirmed through multiple sources.

Brent Stark, the boys’ stepfather, spoke to Global News Monday evening. He said it was he and the boys’ mother who discovered the bodies and called police. He also said he believes Corry killed his sons.

“A coward of a dad took his life and took his own boys’ lives,” he said. “It’s excruciating. These are two good, young men that come from the town of Whitecourt, it’s a small community. Everybody loved them.”
