Neighbors say they knew something was terribly wrong when heavily armed SWAT team officers descended upon a home on the 500 block of S. Bethlehem Pike around 11:30 a.m.
DA Kevin Steele said the postal worker discovered a couple in their 80s lying outside on the property.
Evidence markers were placed on and around the property, with particular focus on the garage.
A large sign posted in front of the house read "Happy Transmission." A neighbor said the sign was in reference to a long-running feud the couple was having with an electrical transmission site across the street, a site they feared was transmitting some kind of electrical waves.
There is no word on the cause of death. The couple's death is being called suspicious, but is not considered a homicide by authorities, as of now.
Officials said autopsies will be conducted by the coroner's office.
