A MAN was found dead in a house - and a woman found with him died hours later in hospital. 

Police were called to the house in Richington Way, Seaford, just before 6pm on Sunday, following a report of concern for the two residents, who are both in their seventies.

A man was found dead in the property and a woman was taken to the Royal Sussex County Hospital, where she died later that evening.

A spokesman for Sussex Police said: “Enquiries are continuing.

“The deaths are currently being treated as unexplained and police are not currently seeking anyone else in relation to this incident.”
