The deaths of two men in western New Brunswick that were originally considered suspicious have now been ruled a homicide and suicide, RCMP say.

Police responded on Aug. 12 to a report of two deaths in the Carleton County community of Knowlesville, according to a news release.

Police found the bodies of a 68-year-old man and a 74-year-old man inside a residence on Knowlesville Road, almost 20 kilometres east of Florenceville.

A firearm was also found at the scene.

RCMP didn't identify the two men but said both were from the community, knew each other and lived together.

Spokesperson Cpl. Hans Ouellette said no other person was involved in the deaths.

The causes of the deaths are homicide and suicide, but it’s unclear how each man died.

On Wednesday, RCMP said the major crimes unit concluded the investigation, and no criminal charges will be laid.
