OPP spokesperson Autumn Eadie says the second death is part of the investigation but not believed to be the result of foul play.
A news release sent out by the First Nation’s tribal council said both people were community members.
Eadie says officers responded to a call around 3 p.m. on Jan. 1 and found one person dead, then shortly after found a second person dead.
OPP say there is not believed to be any further threat to public safety and they are waiting for the results of a post-mortem exam to release further details.
