UPDATE: New details on women found dead in suicide pact at Pa. motel

Initially, police in Northeast Philadelphia reportedly thought that the two bound female victims found Sunday in a motel room with plastic bags over their heads were the victims of homicide.

Now, NBC-10 is citing sources who say that the case is being worked as a suspected suicide pact staged by the two deceased women inside the motel room.

The unidentified victims were both found unresponsive with white plastic bags over their heads and their hands tied behind their backs inside the Roosevelt Motor Inn at around 12:30 p.m. Sunday, NBC-10 reports, adding:

Initially, police declared the deaths possible homicides, but later sources told the TV station that it appeared to be a "possible suicide pact."

The sources added to NBC-10 that the two women staged the "suicide pact made to look like a double homicide."

No other details were immediately available.
