Three generations of family found dead in house
Five decomposed bodies found in a California home are three generations of a Turkish family, police said today.
The family was found in a downstairs bedroom and attached closet on Sunday after relatives broke a window to enter the home in San Clemente. Sheriff's officials believe the family had been dead for two to three weeks.
The five bodies are Manas Ucar, 58, his wife Margrit, 49, and twin daughters Grace and Margo, 21. Also found was Margrit Ucar's 72-year-old mother, Fransuhi Kesisoglu, said sheriff's spokeswoman Lt Erin Giudice.
Manas and Margrit Ucar originally immigrated from Turkey and the grandmother was a legal resident from Turkey, she said.
Lt Giudice said no suspects were being sought at this time, but added that neither murder nor suicide had been ruled out.
Manas and Margrit Ucar's bodies were found together in a downstairs closet with two handguns nearby. One of the guns was registered to Margrit Ucar and Manas Ucar showed signs of a gunshot wound, Lt Giudice said.
The twin daughters and the grandmother were found in an attached bedroom. Their bodies were too decomposed to immediately determine if they had been shot, she said.
