MECHANICSVILLE, Va. (AP) — Authorities investigating the deaths of three family members found dead in a central Virginia home have confirmed that the victims were a man and his 3-year-old, twin daughters.

The Hanover County Sheriff's office on Sunday identified the man as 40-year-old Robert D. King and the girls as Caroline R. and Madison R. King.

All three bodies were found late Saturday in a ranch-style home in the Richmond suburb of Mechanicsville.

Hanover Sheriff's Sgt. Chris Whitley said the cause of death has not been determined.

He called the deaths suspicious but said no suspect is being sought.

Whitley said the twins lived with their mother in the home where the bodies were found. Robert A. King lived at a different address in Hanover County.
