An Indian-origin family of four has been found dead inside their San Mateo home in the US, NBC Bay Area reported.

Even as the San Mateo police are yet to officially release the identities of the deceased, the NBC report said friends have identified them as Anand Sujith Henry, his wife Alice Benziger and their 4-year-old twin boys — all of whom were found dead in their residence on Monday.

According to the police report, San Mateo Police officers were dispatched to the 4100 block of Alameda de las Pulgas on the report of a welfare check. The cops entered the house through an unlocked window, after not receiving a response when they arrived, and found the four dead inside. The police searched the perimeter but could not find any sign of forced entry.

The police report said the boys were found inside a bedroom and the cause of their death is still being investigated. Sources with direct knowledge of the investigation said the police believe the boys were smothered, strangled or given a lethal overdose, as reported by NBC Bay Area.

The couple was found inside a bathroom with gunshot wounds and a 9-millimeter pistol and a loaded magazine were found in the bathroom, the police report said.

This appears to be an isolated incident with no danger to the public as the police are confident the person responsible was located within the home, according to the police report.

There was no note left at the scene, and at this point, the police do not have a motive, the NBC report said.

Criminal Investigation Bureau (CIB) of San Mateo Police department is currently investigating the case.
