Police are investigating two deaths in Chatsworth after the bodies of a man and woman were found inside a Chatsworth home on Saturday, says the Daily News.

Police were notified of the death in the area of Oso Avenue and Lassen Street about 6 a.m., said Los Angeles police Sgt. Jose Valle of the Devonshire station. He did confirm that there was a double homicide at the location.

Officials would not say what type of call tipped off officers to the location, saying that information ''would compromise the investigation.'' Authorities also refused to comment on whether the bodies were found in an apartment or house.

"Right now, we're in the preliminary stages of the investigation. We don't want to say anything that may compromise the investigation,'' he said.
