Durban couple found dead in Musgrave flat
An investigation has begun after a couple was found dead in their Musgrave flat.
The bodies of the man and woman were recovered from their Currie Road home on Wednesday.
The couple's relatives became worried when they didn't answer their phones and went to check on them.
Netcare 911 medics say it appears the pair, who were found in their bed, had been exposed to toxic fumes.
They say an adjoining flat, which is vacant, was being fumigated with a white powder-like substance.
Before medics could enter the home, eThekwini firefighters used an industrial fan to clear the air of the pungent fumes.
The couple was declared dead at the scene.
Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident.
