Three Elderly Found Dead in Mount Holly Home After Postal Worker Spots Note

The county prosecutor and Mount Holly police are leading an active investigation with autopsies scheduled this weekend.

Overview

  • A postal worker discovered a note on the front door Friday that instructed someone to call 911, and officers then found three elderly people dead inside the Winding Way home.
  • The Burlington County Prosecutor's Office and Mount Holly Township Police said they are jointly leading the investigation and that there is no known threat to the public.
  • Autopsies are scheduled to be performed by the Burlington County Medical Examiner's Office this weekend and officials are withholding the victims' names and cause or manner of death until next of kin are notified.
  • Several media outlets and neighbors published images and accounts describing a heavily taped note reading "9-1-1 Inside" and reports of blood at the scene, but authorities have not publicly confirmed those specific details.
  • Residents say the discovery has unsettled the neighborhood and officials say the next major developments to watch for are the medical examiner's findings and any charging decisions by the prosecutor's office.
