According to initial reports, the bodies were discovered on Wednesday afternoon. The Maldives Police Service confirmed that the case had been reported and that an investigation is currently underway. Medical authorities at Addu Equatorial Hospital have since confirmed the deaths.
Family members of the deceased have identified the couple and verified their passing.
