Police said the victims apparently died of gun shot wounds to the head. Chief Deputy District Attorney Mary Goebel said no weapon had been found by midday, indicat ing the deaths were a double homicide instead of a murder suicide. Goebel said two possible sus pects were seen in the area at the time of the killings, and that po lice were trying to compile infor mation for sketches. The clothed bodies were not identified. Seaside police said identification was not found on either victim. Both appeared to be in their 30s, but police said they didn’t recognize them as lo cal residents. The bodies were discovered by tourists shortly after 5 a.m. Inves tigators believe the victims died less than two hours earlier. The bodies were taken from the beach in the afternoon and transported to the state medical examiner's office in Portland for autopsies, District Attorney Josh Marquis said. Before that, the bodies re mained on the beach within sight of beachfront hotels throughout the morning until they could be examined by a team from the Oregon State Police Crime Lab. Seaside police and firefighters cordoned off a three-acre section of the beach as onlookers gath ered. Three teen-agers from Beaver ton, who did not wish to be iden tified, told The Daily Astorian they discovered the bodies. The three said they were on the beach at about 4:45 a.m. and heard what sounded like four gunshots. At first they suspected fireworks. At about 5:10 a.m., as they headed back to the Turnaround, “we stumbled across two dead bodies,” one teen said. “It was dark enough to where we weren’t quite sure if they were passed out or whatever.” The bodies were difficult to see because of the early morning light and clouds, they said, adding that they did not go close. The bodies were found well above the high-tide line, about 200 yards from The Promenade and past the hinge of beach grass. One of the bodies was clothed in a red T-shirt and jeans, and the other was obscured behind a driftwood log. The Clatsop County Major Crime team also is investigating. Marquis, who spoke by phone from Dulles International Airport in Washington, D.C., said he was following the crime-scene progress on the Internet. A Port land TV station has a stationary camera at the beach, and is feed ing frames of the investigation onto its web site. Marquis said the camera was n’t running when the deaths oc curred. “We couldn’t get that lucky,” he said. Memorial to pollution victims visits Eugene A 10-foot-high tombstone com memorating the Americans who die each year from air pollution will visit Eugene tomorrow at 10 a.m. at the Lane County Courthouse (8th and Oak).
