Two people who were found dead at a house in Greenock have been named by police as Neil and Alison McLaughlin.

The 57 year old man and 53 year old woman were discovered after police were called to reports of concern for the people inside the property, just after 5pm on January 5.

Their deaths are currently being treated as unexplained.

Detective Inspector Gordon Smith said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Neil and Alison. We are providing their families with specialist support at this incredibly difficult time. They have asked for privacy.

“The deaths are currently being treated as unexplained and enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances.

“At this time we have no information to suggest anyone else is involved in connection with the deaths and there is no risk to the wider public.

“A police presence will remain in the area while our investigation continues and anyone with concerns should speak to officers.

“A report will be sent to the Procurator Fiscal.”
