Bodies of a man and a woman found in a car at a Miami-Dade park, police say

A man and a woman were found dead Sunday morning in a car parked at Gwen Cherry Park, Miami-Dade police said.

While originally police thought there might have been a gunshot wound suffered by one of the victims, now police believe these deaths are likely overdoses. Police said the bodies had “been there for a while” when they were found around 8:30 a.m. Sunday at the park, 7090 NW 22nd Ave.

Video of the scene by WPLG-Channel 10 showed the car to be a Cadillac.

How or if the two were related to each other as well as their identities aren’t known yet.
