BOOTHBAY HARBOR (AP) — Investigators in Maine say they expect more information to be released about the deaths of a couple and their 40-year-old son in Boothbay Harbor after autopsies are completed.
A spokesman for the Maine Department of Public Safety says the bodies of 71-year-old Svend Jorgensen and his 75-year-old wife, Carol Jorgensen, were found in their home on Lakeside Drive. The body of their son, Eric Jorgensen, was found at his Montgomery Road home.
Spokesman Stephen McCausland says investigators do not believe anyone else was involved. He says the cause and manner of the deaths could be released later Monday.
Eric Jorgensen was a social studies teacher at a high school in Portland.
Friends say Svend Jorgensen was retired from Bath Iron Works and Carol Jorgensen had worked at Portland International Jetport.
