MYSTERY surrounds the deaths of a couple who laid undiscovered in their overgrown home for "up to six months".
The elderly husband and wife were found at their property on Greenan Road, in Newry, Co Down, Northern Ireland, on Thursday.
Cops believe the pair passed away some time ago as they launch a probe.
Neither of the deaths are being treated as suspicious and a post-mortem examination has taken place to determine a cause.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) are continuing to carry out inquiries.
It has since emerged the pair, who have not been named, hadn't been seen for some time.
