A 90-year-old British woman and her son have been found dead at their home in Spain.
Their bodies were present in Alhaurin el Grande, a half-hour drive inland from the Costa del Sol resort of Fuengirola.
Concern was raised by local social services who asked police to send officers around to their home.
Officers forced their way into the house and the elderly woman is believed to have starved to death and her son, 63, died of natural causes.
The Civil Guard says each died of natural causes and there are not any suspicious circumstances into their deaths.
The lady’s son was a registered carer and it shouldn’t be clear if he had health problems.
The news comes after two British pensioners, aged 82 and 74 were found dead at their Costa Blanca home last Thursday.
Their bodies were present in San Fulgencio by firefighters and the person and woman were friends in response to police sources.
They lived on a residential estate popular with pensioners.
Staff from social services raised the alarm and there have been no signs of violence in the house.
A post-mortem found they’d each died of natural causes but each are believed to have suffered chronic illnesses and were seen as ‘vulnerable’ by social services.
