The bodies of a man and woman were discovered inside a Hot Spring County residence, in the Glen Rose area, early Tuesday morning, according to Arkansas State Police (ASP).
A statement from ASP said that a residence in the 4600 block of Military Road, north of Malvern, was also the scene of a fire that had damaged the property. Agents were contacted about 2:40 a.m. by local authorities reporting the deaths.
Special Agents of the ASP Criminal Investigation Division have tentatively identified the victims, but confirmation remains pending before releasing the names. The bodies will be transported to the Arkansas State Crime Laboratory where a manner and cause of death will be determined by the state medical examiner.
The ASP will assist the Hot Spring County Sheriff’s Department in determining the origin and cause of the fire and whether foul play may be involved in the deaths.
