Cleveland news, Ohio news.

The bodies of five family members have been found dead inside their Elyria, Ohio home early Wednesday and authorities are investigating the incident as a murder-suicide.

The victims were not immediately identified pending next-of-kin notification but neighbors said that they were parents and three children that lived in the neighbourhood for at least 15 years.

“About 5.20, I heard what sounded like firecrackers going off like ‘pop pop pop’” a neighbor said. “Like I tell everybody, I’m the nosy neighbor that watches everything but I didn’t see this. If I would’ve known, I would’ve called yesterday.”

The same neighbor described the father of the family as a man who was always building something at his home; Just two weeks ago, he put a new roof and fence with his friends’ help.
