A married couple and their adopted special needs son have been found dead in an apparent murder-suicide.

But on Friday night, their lifeless bodies were removed from the apartment building 30 miles south of Cleveland.

Authorities weren't sure immediately when and how the deaths occurred.
According to neighbors, the family was quiet but friendly, and the couple often walked their dogs together through the Pinewood Estates complex in the city.
'They always walked hand-in-hand,' neighbor Sandra Miller told the Northeast Ohio Media Group.
'They seemed very happy, but you never know what goes on inside someone's house.'
'This kind of thing is shocking,' added Autumn Dawes. 'They seemed very happy, but I guess you just never know.'
Neighbors said authorities removed two Jack Russell Terriers and a cat, all alive, from the home. The age of the child, who was developmentally disabled, wasn't clear.
Medina Police Chief Patrick Berarducci declined to say whether police found a weapon inside the condo.
