San Francisco police find 4 people dead inside home after responding to a well-being check

San Francisco police investigating after finding 4 bodies inside a home

San Francisco police said they found four bodies inside a West Highlands home on Wednesday.

Police said they got a call from a relative of someone living in the home to do a welfare check. When officers arrived at the home on the 900 block of Monterey Boulevard, they found four bodies, police said.

Belinda Hanart, a resident in the area, said a family of four lived in the home, a mother, father and two daughters. 

"It was a very normal family, with a very normal family routine," she said. "Dropping kids off at school and coming back at the end of the afternoon. Nothing to be concerned about with this family."

She said the only thing that was a bit off was that they were fairly quiet over the summer, but she said she assumed they were away for summer break. Then this week, her husband got concerned after trash day.

"My husband noticed that they took out the trash on Sunday as usual, but they didn't take it back on Monday," she said. "He noticed that yesterday and said that's unusual. That's it."  

Police said their homicide unit is investigating, and the San Francisco Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will be investigating the cause and manner of death.

Police said the deaths appear to be an isolated incident, and there is no threat to the public.
