Middle Township police officers responded Thursday to a residence on West Atlantic Avenue to check the well-being of the occupants.
When officers arrived, they discovered two bodies.
Officials said the crime does not appear to be a random act of violence, but a murder-suicide.
Investigators say more information will be released once the autopsies are completed.
Anyone with information is asked to call Cape May County Prosecutor's Office at 609-465-1135 or the Middle Township Police Department at 609-465-8700.
