Northampton Police Chief Michael Clark said Tuesday night that there was no sign of forced entry to the house.
He said the police had had no contact with the victims, who had purchased the home in 2016, the year they were married. "They seemed to be a nice young couple that just happened to be unfortunate victims in this case," he said.
A painter working at the home on Tuesday morning found the husband's body on the second floor and called police. Officers arriving on scene found the wife's body on the same floor, police said.
Authorities haven't said how they died, but autopsies are planned Thursday to determine the causes of death, according to authorities.
