The body of a man was found inside the Frisco home of the Indian-origin couple, Pallavi and Sumeet Dhawan, yesterday while a woman was found dead in the swimming pool of the house.
The identities of the deceased have not been released, but police said they are not looking for any suspects, the NBC News reported.
It was not immediately known for how long the bodies had been lying in the house.
Police said they were called to the home regarding a possible drowning case and found a man and a woman dead.
The couple's 10-year-old son Arnav was found dead inside a dry bathtub, covered by a cloth and surrounded by plastic bags in the family's home on Janauary 29.
Pallavi, who was charged with murder, told police that she was only trying to preserve the body of her son, who had died four days earlier in his sleep, until Sumeet returned home from a business trip in India.
The couple claimed that the boy had died of natural causes and, in their culture, the father must deliver a final blessing.
Pallavi had claimed that her son suffered from microcephaly, which causes an abnormally small head and can lead to a shortened lifespan.
Arnav's autopsy was inconclusive and the medical examiner said he died of undetermined causes, likely of a seizure.
