The family was discovered after a relative requested a welfare check at their home, authorities told CBS News.
Since then, family members have gathered outside the home to cope with the sudden loss of the family of four.
Relatives told CBS News they were stunned to learn this was happening because they thought Singh and Parihar were a “happy couple.”
Both parents worked in IT and one also worked in human resources. According to his LinkedIn page, the father, Singh, worked at Ness Digital Engineering as a lead APIX engineer.
