Eight people, including seven children were found dead in a home in the US state of Maryland, police said.
Police found the bodies on Monday at a home in Princess Anne town, The Delmarva Daily Times reported.
Princess Anne police chief Scott Keller said the seven children were aged between six to 16 years.
Police found a gas generator in the kitchen that had run out of fuel.
The home's electricity was not in service, police added.
Keller said the cause of the deaths will only be known once the medical examiner tests the bodies. However, there were no signs of foul play in the incident, he said.
