LAHORE — Investigators in Lahore’s Township area have closed the possibility of foul play in the deaths of two women discovered earlier this week, citing post-mortem results that show no signs of physical abuse or torture.
The bodies were found inside a residence, sparking immediate concerns among residents and local authorities regarding a potential homicide. Police launched an investigation, cordoning off the scene and sending the remains to the city morgue for formal forensic examination.
The autopsy report, finalized late Wednesday, indicates the women died from causes unrelated to external violence. Officials have not yet disclosed the specific medical cause of death, pending further chemical analysis of blood samples.
“We looked for trauma, defensive wounds, or any evidence of struggle,” a senior investigation officer told reporters. “The medical board found nothing of the sort. The investigation is shifting focus to medical history and environmental factors.”
The discovery had initially gripped the neighborhood in fear, with local residents speculating about an intruder or a targeted attack. Police are now working to piece together the hours leading up to the incident, reviewing CCTV footage from nearby streets to confirm if anyone entered or exited the home during the relevant timeframe.
While the forensic findings have quelled fears of a violent crime spree in the area, the families of the deceased remain in shock. Investigators are currently interviewing relatives to determine if the women suffered from any pre-existing health conditions that might explain the sudden double fatality.
Final toxicology reports are expected within the next 48 hours, which police say will provide the definitive answer to the case. For now, the scene remains under police observation as they await the full lab results.
