A teenager and her parents were found dead in a $5 million (C$6.6 million) mansion.
The horrific scene occurred on Thursday evening in Massachusetts.
The bodies of Rakesh Kamal, 57, his wife Teena, 54, and their 18-year-old daughter Ariana were found in their Dover home about 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey said.

The prosecutor, who described this “terrible tragedy” as a “domestic violence situation”, stated that a firearm was found near the man's body.
He did not want to say whether or by whom the three family members were shot.

Mr Morrissey said he was awaiting the coroner's decision, expected sometime on Friday, before classifying the incident as a murder-suicide.
The prosecutor declined to speculate on a motive for the killings.

The couple appeared to be struggling financially in recent years.
The family's sprawling home was foreclosed on a year ago and sold for $3 million (C$4 million) to Massachusetts-based Wilsondale Associates LLC, according to real estate records obtained by the New York Post.
