A mother and son have died following an incident at a house in Rochdale.
Police, fire crews and emergency gas teams were called to Foxholes Road on Friday at about 17:10 GMT following reports of concern for welfare.
A man in his 60s was found dead at the scene and a woman in her 80s died in hospital later.
Greater Manchester Police said there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding the deaths but investigations were ongoing.
Three fire engines from Rochdale and Littleborough attended, along with the North West Ambulance Service and Cadent Gas.
A Cadent Gas spokesperson said: "On behalf of everyone at Cadent, I offer our sincere condolences to their family and friends.
