Whiteside County deputies are looking into the deaths of a married couple.
Their bodies were found Saturday afternoon in a home on east commercial street.
Deputies found 78-year-old Thomas Whitney dead in the bedroom.
His 53-year-old wife Dawn was dead in the bathroom.
A neighbor tells Local Four News she was stunned.
Clydye Miles, who lives across the street says, “I was really quite, shocked is a good word, because I come around the corner and go through the alley to park here, and there were like 5 cop cars over there. So this comes as a complete shock , and when I look over there I just feel sad.”
Whiteside County’s Coroner performed autopsies this morning. That did not provide an immediate cause of death. Authorities are waiting on the results of a toxicology report, which could take up to two weeks.
