Twin brothers, whose skeletal remains were found in side-by-side chairs in the home they shared, likely died in 2011, according to investigators.
Andrew and Anthony Johnson, 63, were found in their Chattanooga, TN., home on March 29.
Police found their decomposing bodies sitting in recliners in the living room on March 29 after a relative asked officers to check on the 63-year-old brothers.
The conditions of the bodies suggested that both men had been dead since 2011.
There were no obvious signs of foul play.
Chattanooga residents are now formulating their own theories, speculating that perhaps a natural gas leak killed them, or that they died in a double suicide, while others think they may have simply sat down and died together.
