Vancouver police are investigating the deaths of an elderly couple inside their south Granville Street home Monday evening.

In a release, VPD Const. Jason Doucette said the bodies of a 77-year-old woman and 79-year-old man were found just after 5 p.m. inside a residence near Granville Street and West 5th Avenue, just on the south side of the Granville Street Bridge.

No names have been released and cause of death was still being determined Tuesday afternoon.

“There is no evidence, at this time, to suggest anyone else was involved in this incident,” Doucette said.

“Based on the information collected by our investigators, it appears this couple died together in their apartment.”

Doucette said no further details would be provided, out of respect for the couple’s grieving family.

Neighbours reported seeing police cruisers parked in front of and behind the Cheesecake Etc. restaurant at 2141 Granville Street. A handwritten sign that said “closed tonight sorry” was taped to the restaurant’s window on Tuesday.

The B.C. Coroners Service is also investigating.
