Officers were called to the Hidden Creek Apartments in the 6500 block of Mt. Zion Boulevard, near Morrow, after being contacted by a maintenance person at the complex, Officer C. Ashmore with Clayton County police said.

The two deceased people, whose identities were unknown early Friday afternoon, were found in Building 3000 at the complex, Ashmore said. Information regarding the causes of death was not released.

Clayton County police and the GBI are investigating the deaths, Ashmore said.
