Both parents of “The Walking Dead” actress Alicia Witt were found dead of unknown causes at their home in Worchester, Massachusetts Monday, the Associated Press reports. Police say the deaths are not suspicious.
Witt reached out to a cousin who lives near her parents, Robert Witt, 87, and Diane Witt, 75, after she hadn’t heard from them in a number of days. The cousin called police asking them to conduct a safety check, and police found the couple dead in their home.
Neighbors reported that the Witts were having furnace problems and may have used a portable space heater, leading some to propose the couple died of carbon monoxide poisoning, but officials found no trace of carbon monoxide in the house.
