Elderly couple found dead in Rockville home

Rockville police found the bodies of a couple, believed to be in their 70s, in their apartment in downtown Rockville.

Police said they were called to the 100 block of Monroe Street by neighbors who had grown concerned about the mounting pile of newspapers outside the couple’s door. Authorities said they found the bodies in separate rooms after building employees had to drill open the lock to their door. Police do not believe foul play was involved. They did not release the names of the man and woman.
