Authorities say a married Air Force couple found dead in their SUV outside their apartment complex probably died of carbon monoxide poisoning.
The bodies of Chad Cheswick, 22, and Jessica Cheswick, 23, were found in their vehicle Friday by their apartment manager.
Police say that the ignition of the SUV was on but that the vehicle was out of gas when their bodies were discovered.
A police spokesman says preliminary results of an autopsy conducted Monday found no evidence of foul play or suicide.
The Cheswicks were both stationed at Travis Air Force Base.
