Authorities are investigating what they called the suspicious death of an 18-year-old woman after her body was found in a Burlington, Massachusetts, home along with the body of a 20-year-old man.

Burlington police discovered the bodies in the basement after responding to a 911 call from a home located on McCafferty Way around 4 p.m. Wednesday, Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan said in a statement Thursday.

The death of an 18-year-old woman is being investigated as suspicious, authorities said, while the death of a 20-year-old man' she knew is not.

A preliminary investigation suggested that the man's death was not suspicious, Ryan's office said.

The man and woman knew each other, according to the statement.

No further details were immediately available. An investigation is ongoing.

On Oct. 29, Burlington police and fire responded to this McCafferty Way home and found a 20-year-old man attempting to care for wounds to his back, stomach, and upper legs. It was determined that he was shot in the parking lot of the American Legion Post on Winn St. in Burlington after the man met with two men at an undetermined location. It's not immediately clear if it's the same 20-year-old man who was found dead in the home's basement on Wednesday.
