The Waukesha County Sheriff’s Department is actively investigating and working to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident. The whereabouts of the other family members are unknown, according to a release.
"It's just, it's sad. You hate to hear this about anybody," said Berg.
Police had the backyard of the home taped off all the way back to Highway 59. Neighbors told TMJ4 that the people who lived there kept to themselves and did not interact with the neighborhood.
"We may wave to them on a rare occasion, and that's it's rare to see them out," said Berg.
