BCSO: Two Decaying Bodies Discovered in South Side Home
In a shocking discovery in San Antonio, Texas, the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office reports two decomposing bodies were found in a South Side residence. The initial investigation reveals that the victims were two men aged in their 40s and 70s who had been shot in the upper body.
Scene Discovery and Further Investigation
At around 10 a.m. Tuesday, deputies were called to the 15900 block of Martinez Street, following a reported welfare check that had been requested in March. Upon arriving at the scene, they discovered a chilling sight: two men found deceased in a bedroom of the home. It was apparent that the bodies had been there for some time, due to their advanced state of decomposition. A weapon was found at the location, although no specific details have been released yet.
Initial reports indicate that family members had requested a welfare check in March, but no one ever responded to the door. The decaying bodies were only discovered when the family took matters into their own hands and broke into the home on Tuesday.
Victims Identified
Despite the bodies’ advanced state of decomposition, the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office could identify the victims as two men, one in his 40s and one in his 70s. Preliminary examination reportedly showed that both men had been shot in the upper body. Still, neither a clear motive has been established nor the source of the lethal gunshots.
Medical Examiner Further Investigation
The Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office has taken over the case to confirm the cause of the deaths. As they delve deeper into their investigation, many questions remain unanswered about the distressing discovery. The identities of the two men and their relationship to each other have yet to be revealed.
This disconcerting event is under development, and further information will be released as it emerges.
