"My understanding is that the Homeowners' Association maintains the front yard, at least at this home where these individuals lived," Lt. Bill Bingham said. "So at first glance, from outside, it's not immediately apparent that nobody's been caring for the place for up to a year."

Police Find 3 'Severely Decomposing Bodies' in California Home During Welfare Check

Officials believe the three bodies had been inside the Irvine home for 12 to 16 months, according to The Orange County Register

Abigail Adams is a Human Interest Writer and Reporter for PEOPLE. She has been working in journalism for seven years.

Police have discovered "three severely decomposing bodies" inside a California home, leading to questions of a possible murder-suicide.

The Irvine Police Department came upon the bodies inside a home at 58 Riverboat in Irvine at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday while conducting a welfare check at the residence, according to a news release obtained by NBC Los Angeles and KTLA .

Canadian authorities contacted the IPD to conduct the welfare check after relatives of the home's residents — a father, mother and adult son — had not heard from the trio in over a year, FOX 11 Los Angeles reported .

Officials believe the three bodies had been there for 12 to 16 months, according to The Orange County Register .

The Irvine Police Department did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.

Authorities said in Wednesday's release that there were "some indications this was a domestic-related incident" and are looking into the matter as a possible murder-suicide, per reports.

Lt. Bill Bingham told ABC7 that the bodies are so decomposed that identification is proving difficult

Officers located a gun inside the residence, according to the Register and NBC Los Angeles.

Police said the father of the family living at the home was in his 60s, the mother was in her 50s and the son was in his 30s, the Register reported.

Officials are also trying to determine how the deaths seemingly went unnoticed for so long. The home where the victims were found is located inside a gated community in Orchard Hills, according to the Register .

As Bingham noted to ABC7, a Homeowners' Association is "responsible for at least some of the lawn care and maintenance for the front of the homes" in the community.

"So, looking at the home at a glance, it's not immediately apparent that somebody hasn't been in and out of the home for maybe up to a year," he said.

Anyone with information about the case is urged to contact Detective Gavin Hudson at ghudson@cityofirvine.org or 949-724-7168.

Irvine police on Wednesday found the severely decomposed bodies of three adults in a residence in what appears to have been a murder-suicide.

Officers went to the home at 58 Riverboat at about 10:30 a.m. to do a welfare check on behalf of Canadian authorities, who had been contacted by extended family when they could not contact the relatives for more than a year, according to Lt. Bill Bingham of the Irvine Police Department.

NPS personnel were notified on Friday of a body in the river near mile six, the agency announced. Responding rangers recovered the body and transported it to Lees Ferry , a boat launch point at Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, then to the Coconino County Medical Examiner’s Office in Flagstaff.

"Initial information indicates the body is that of missing person Thomas L. Robison," the agency wrote in its statement.

Robison was reported missing last month . His vehicle, officials said, was found abandoned at Lees Ferry.

Autopsy to determine man's cause of death

The county medical examiner was working to officially identity the victim and determine their cause and manner of death, authorities said.
