Three Elderly People Found Dead in Mount Holly Home

Three elderly people were found dead inside a Mount Holly home on the afternoon of November 6, authorities said. The residence sits along Winding Way, close to the township line with Eastampton, New Jersey.

A postal worker contacted police after finding a note on the home’s door that indicated 911 should be called. Mount Holly Township police responded to the address.
