SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio police are investigating the deaths of a man and a woman found under a bridge on the city’s Northwest Side.
A San Antonio police spokesperson said a passerby made the discovery underneath the bridge in the 5400 block of Evers Road and called authorities around 6:30 p.m. Tuesday.
SAPD said there was evidence the man and woman, believed to be in their 30s or 40s, were living in the drainage ditch under the bridge. Police could not confirm if there is an abundant homeless population in the area, but officers say there are some homeless people who take shelter under bridges.
The man and woman’s cause of death will be determined by the medical examiner.
More information about these suspicious deaths was not immediately available. KSAT will update you on air and online with any new developments.
