Concerned Friend, Police Find Decomposed Bodies in Bathroom of Delaware Home

Police in Delaware discovered the decomposing bodies of a husband and wife inside their bathroom.

Officers made the grisly discovery after a friend of Miriam and Raymond Bell said that he hadn’t heard from them for a few days and that the Bells weren’t answering the door to their South Winding Brooke Drive home in the Clearbrooke Estates community in Seaford.

When police arrived Thursday afternoon, they got into the house and located the Bells, who were both 62, dead in the bathroom – the bodies had started to decompose, according to Delaware State Police.

Police said that the medical examiner’s office would determine how the couple died.

Police said there didn't appear to be foul play involved.
