PHILOMATH, Ore. (AP) — Police say two people in their 50s were found dead with apparent gunshot wounds in a Philomath home west of Corvallis. KOIN reports a Philomath police officer arrived at the residence after someone there called 911 and hung up. Police say when the officer did not receive a response from anyone at the residence, a deputy from the Benton County Sheriff’s Office arrived and they forced their way inside. Police say they found 53-year-old Merry Rath and 55-year-old Carl Rath dead with apparent gunshot wounds. Police say official causes of death are yet to be determined. An autopsy is scheduled for this week.
