Melbourne couple lay dead for more than a week: police TWO bodies found at a home in Melbourne's southwest may have been undiscovered for more than a week. Officers found the bodies of a man aged in his 90s and a woman in her 60s at the house in Minogue Crescent, Hoppers Crossing, around 6pm (AEDT) last night. A neighbour said the pair were a father and daughter both in ill health, and may have been dead for more than a week before being discovered, the Herald Sun reported. Neighbour Barry Beer told the Herald Sun he had just returned from holidays and became suspicious when he noticed their mailbox had not been emptied. Police said the deaths did not appear to be suspicious and a report would be prepared for the coroner to determine how the pair died.
