ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. — Along Glen Bay Drive in Mehlville, there are lots of heavy hearts.
“It’s really a terrible, tragic thing,” said neighbor Chuck Duy.
St. Louis County police say last Thursday morning the husband and wife were found dead in their bed by their only child, a girl aged 11.
The girl made the grim discovery on Feb. 18, NBC reported. It was unclear whether she was living with her parents while they were quarantined.
“To lose both parents at one time you know for an 11-year-old, it’s really tragic,” neighbor Chuck Duy told KSDK-TV. “We’re praying for them. They were the nicest people. We’re so happy they moved into the neighborhood.”
Police say both were in their 40s and both died of COVID-19.
