According to WBZ-TV, police made the grisly discovery Thursday afternoon while performing a wellness check. However, sources told the news station that a man was taken into custody Frifday after being seen running into the home’s garage when a door opened. The man’s identity or relationship to the victims is not immediately known.

The station also reported that the children found dead Thursday were a 2-year-old boy, 5-year-old boy, and a 7-year-old girl. Sources said that all four deaths are being treated as suspicious.
