MILLARD COUNTY, Utah — An investigation is underway after three people, including one child, were found dead in Millard County.
The Millard County Sheriff's Office said they were called Thursday to the Flowell area for reports of deceased individuals at 8:30 p.m., and when they arrived, they found the victims.
One of the victims is described as a young child, although an exact age wasn't shared by officials. The other two were adults. The names of the victims have yet to be released.
Investigators don't believe there is an ongoing threat to the public, and the deaths are under investigation.
The home is located in an unincorporated area about five miles west of I-15 in Fillmore known as Flowell, which has a population of around 100.
"Honestly, this is a very good community. We’ve lived here for three years. It was instantly welcoming. We've never had any problems with any of the neighbors," resident Brett Mathis said.
Mathis said other than a person in the area who took their life two years ago, this situation is unprecedented.
"This is the first time we've ever heard anything in this area about, you know, a family being found dead," Mathis said.
"I really hope and I pray for the family that's suffering in this tragic time. It's horrible," Mathis said.
