The Calgary police homicide unit is investigating an incident in the city’s northwest after two people were found dead Friday morning.

Officers were called to Stoney Trail and Nose Hill Drive N.W. around 9 a.m. They cordoned off the Stoney Trail bridge above the Bow River, where the homicide team, medical examiner and police investigated a grey Mazda seen parked with its hazard lights still flashing.

Police confirmed Friday afternoon two deaths were under investigation. It was still unknown at the time how the two died.

In a release, Calgary police said a man and a woman were both dead at the scene. They believe the deaths were connected, but they are still investigating the cause and nature of the deaths.

Autopsies are scheduled for Monday. No other details are expected to be released until they are complete.

During the height of the on-scene investigation, about six police cruisers and an ambulance were on the bridge and the vehicle in question was parked on the approach to the structure. A pink tarp was draped over the driver’s side window and rear driver’s side door. One deceased person was still inside the vehicle.

There were also investigators below the thoroughfare, at the pedestrian bridge between Bowness Park and Baker Park.
