RANCHO PALOS VERDES, Calif. - Homicide detectives with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department are investigating two deaths Thursday afternoon -- one which occurred in Rancho Palos Verdes and another in the city of Lake Arrowhead.
Deputies from the Lomita Sheriff's Station were dispatched to a home in the 27800 block of Palmeras Place in Rancho Palos Verdes after reports from concerned family members requesting deputies check the welfare of a man and woman that lived there, according to authorities.
Deputies found a 45-year-old woman suffering from injuries they describe as "traumatic" and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Deputies did not find a second person at the Palmeras Place home but learned the couple owned another home in Lake Arrowhead in San Bernardino County.
