Alexander said it may be four to six weeks before the reports and all the information needed is compiled for the complete autopsy report.

On Monday, Jerseyville Police Chief Brad Blackorby said foul play was not suspected in the case of the two found in the garage. A family member found the two people.

“Things can change at any time, but right now it is an open investigation and what we have seen so far it is not a criminal thing but something accidental.”
