RED CLOVER TOWNSHIP — Authorities say the deaths of two people in eastern Minnesota are suspicious and are being investigated as a homicide.

The bodies of an adult man and woman were found in a home in Carlton County’s Red Clover Township about 3 p.m. Sunday. Sheriff Kelly Lake said in a statement the deaths are being treated as a homicide.

An acquaintance of the woman, Suzy Goodin, tells the Duluth News Tribune that she used to work for her father at a furniture factory in Cromwell. Goodin says the woman was “well-loved in the community.”

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is assisting in the investigation.
