Police: Foul play not suspected in 2 deaths

Police are investigating the deaths of a man and a woman found in a vehicle in St. Paul’s Highwood neighborhood on Sunday, which they said do not appear suspicious.

Officers responded to the Shamrock Plaza shopping center at McKnight and Lower Afton roads about 5:25 p.m. on a report of two people who were in a vehicle and possibly deceased, said St. Paul police Sgt. Toy Vixayvong.

St. Paul Fire Department medics pronounced both people dead at the scene. “Officers on scene did not see any signs of foul play,” Vixayvong said in a statement.

The Ramsey County Medical Examiner’s Office is assessing the situation, according to Vixayvong.
