Three Elderly Found Dead in Mount Holly Home

Autopsies are pending with the Burlington County medical examiner as the prosecutor’s office and local police continue a joint investigation.

Overview

  • A postal worker on his Mount Holly route found a heavily taped note directing someone to call 911 and notified police, who entered the Winding Way home and discovered three elderly people dead on Friday.
  • The Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office and Mount Holly Township Police are leading the probe and have scheduled autopsies to determine cause and manner of death.
  • Officials say there is no threat to the public and they are withholding the decedents’ names until next of kin are notified.
  • News outlets and neighbors have circulated photos of a taped “9-1-1 Inside” note and unconfirmed accounts of a bloody scene, but authorities have not verified those specific details.
  • The discovery has unsettled residents in the small suburb and investigators say they will release findings and any further public safety information after medical examiner results and family notifications.
