Longueuil police spokesperson Jacqueline Pierre said a weapon, potentially a knife, was used.
Police did not confirm the relationship of the victims, but said they lived together.
“The theory of being a murder followed by a suicide is not something that we are going to ignore,” Pierre said.
“The only thing that is going to help us out figure it out is an investigation.”
An investigation is underway.
