SIOUX LOOKOUT, Ont. — Police say they are investigating the circumstances surrounding the sudden deaths of three people at a residence in the community of Hudson, in northwestern Ontario.

Provincial police say their Sioux Lookout detachment and Lac Seul Police Service responded to a call early Saturday afternoon reporting an unresponsive person at a residence.

They say post-mortems will be performed later this week in Toronto to determine the cause of death.
