Two found dead in tub with barbecue

FEDERAL WAY, Wash. – There were still more questions than answers after police found two bodies Monday inside the bathroom of a Federal Way apartment.

Federal Way police were sent to the apartment on 3rd Place SW near S 320th St. after someone called to have officers check on the well-being of the people who live there. It was not immediately clear why the caller was concerned.

The man and woman, both in their early 30s, were found in a small narrow bathroom. A barbecue that had once been lit was in the bathtub.

Police revealed few clues or answers and did not say why the barbecue was in the bathtub and whether this was a tragic accident or something more sinister.

Other residents say the units have smoke detectors but no carbon monoxide alarms. Neighbors weren’t sure what to make of it.

“You really don't think they'd have it in the house. That is really suspicious,” said Carolyn Hendrickson, neighbor. “And then they had the evidence markers out it. It is really suspicious."

Little was known about the victims. Authorities have not released the names or relationships of the people found dead.

The case remains under investigation.

TRying to put the heat back into their romance, I guess.

If there was a grill in the bathtub, they should say so. Barbecue is a pork sandwich.

Sounds like a Mad-Lib instead of a crime scene.

I'll bet the police are hiding something!

I'm guessing they saw a suicide by toaster in the bathtub on some old TV show, but their toaster was busted so they tried the BBQ...

Suicide would be my guess. Putting the BBQ in the tub may have been a way to prevent a fire after their demise. I'm sure the neighbors appreciate the courtesy.

Right. I was expecting something a bit more saucey.

A friend owns a painting company in Waukegan, Illinois. he was called in to paint a bathroom in an apartment. The tenants used the tub as a grill by lining it with foil and dumping coals in it. I guess this is more common than we thought.

Sounds like a suicide pact, to me.

Crappy reporting (no pun intended). No mention of the weather, cold or warm, no mention of what else was found in the room. No mention of how the bodies arranged.

All things you'd ask about to determine if this was suicide, an accident due to improvising heat or an accident from using a grill indoors.

Note to self: Never try to stune your beeber in a bath tub.

The tenants were from Latin America, perhaps? The construction workers in Argentina barbecued in their wheelbarrows on lunch break.

The grill was in the bath tub so they could use the shower to put it out quickly!

What's the mystery? :-)
