3 bodies discovered in University Area apartment prompts APD investigation
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - Anchorage police are investigating the circumstances surrounding three bodies found in a University Area apartment Wednesday evening.
In an update to a dispatch, the Anchorage Police Department wrote that officers were called to the 3500 block of East 42nd Avenue for a welfare check around 5:40 p.m. Wednesday, which was later identified as the College View Apartment Homes.
According to the dispatch, officers peering through the apartment window saw a dead body; when they entered the residence they found two more — two adult men and one adult woman were dead inside.
Neighbors reported seeing a large police presence as well as the medical examiner on scene throughout the night.
One woman who was questioned by police said she was told the people may have been dead for several days. The neighbor — who lives in the same complex — said she had noticed an unpleasant odor for about two weeks.
Ultimately, police said it will be up to the State Medical Examiner to determine the cause of death. APD said the investigation is ongoing.
