The emergency call was placed by an acquaintance of one of the family members after the acquaintance reportedly received a text message from that family member expressing despair over their situation.

A note was also found inside the apartment, according to police.

“There are currently no signs of foul play,” a police official said. “We are investigating the exact circumstances surrounding the deaths.”
