WAUKESHA, Wis. (AP) — Police officials say the deaths of two men whose bodies were found in a Waukesha townhome died in an apparent murder-suicide.

Officers were called to the home about 2 p.m. Tuesday to check on the welfare of a resident. That’s when the bodies were discovered.

The police found the body of one man in a closet in an upstairs bedroom. He was holding a handgun. The body of the other man was found partially covered with a sheet in the basement utility room.

Authorities identified the men as 54-year-old Alan Skarzynski and 33-year-old Dustin Congleton. The police say the two men knew each other, but their relationship is unknown.

The cause of the deaths is under investigation.
