Five people were found dead inside a Cartersville-area home Sunday, according to the Bartow County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies and GBI agents were called to the apartment, located in the 1700 block of Stonehaven Circle, just after 4:30 p.m., Sheriff Clark Millsap said late Sunday in an emailed statement. The apartment is located in the Stone Haven Falls complex off Joe Frank Harris Parkway.

“Deputies discovered five deceased individuals inside the residence,” Millsap said. “At this time, due to the nature of the investigation no further information will be released.”

The GBI crime lab will conduct autopsies on the five, the sheriff’s office said. The names and ages of those found dead were not released.

No further details were available late Sunday.
