Halifax District RCMP are investigating what they describe as two sudden deaths in Cole Harbour.

In a message sent to X, RCMP say they were called to a residence on Poplar Drive at 9 a.m. Monday.

They claim that the two people located at the residence “knew each other”.

In a subsequent message, the RCMP says the investigation has only just begun, but “we can confirm that there is no risk to public safety.”

The message says the public can expect a heavy police presence in the area.

The RCMP did not provide details about the two people who died.
