SPRINGVILLE, Utah (AP) – Five people were found dead Saturday night in a home near Provo, authorities said.

Springville police spokesman Lt. Dave Caron said that the cause of the deaths wasn’t immediately apparent, but police don’t believe that there is any danger to the community.

His statement didn’t provide further information on the five, but the Salt Lake Tribune reported that police said the bodies are those of a couple and their three children.

Caron said that the bodies were found about 8 p.m. MDT.

The paper said that the home was a duplex and that residents on the other half of the building were unharmed.
