The deaths of an Aurora stepfather and stepson found in their basement Monday morning appear drug-related, according to police.
Jesus Mancilla-Nunez, 57, and his 29-year-old stepson, Jamie Vazquez Jr., were found dead about 9:45 a.m. Monday in the basement of their home on the 800 block of Columbia, according to a Facebook post from the Aurora Police Department.
Police said they are investigating the deaths.
Aurora Police Department spokesman Dan Ferrelli declined to elaborate on why the deaths appeared drug-related or describe anything found at the scene, where he said police were called by family members.
The police department shared the information on Facebook “because of the tragedy of two people losing their lives to suspected drug use,” Ferrelli said in an email.
Police said the men were last seen alive about 11 a.m. Sunday at home and pronounced dead at the scene Monday. Their bodies showed no signs of trauma and foul play is not suspected, according to police.
The Kane County Coroner’s Office was scheduled to perform autopsies Tuesday, police said.
