Over the weekend, three people were found dead in their homes in Bethel.  Police believe that two of those deaths were from natural causes, while the third death, that of 34-year-old Josephine Fisher found Saturday, is still under investigation. An autopsy will be conducted, but police say that there was no sign of foul play.  

A police report listed the other two deaths: Gerald Korthuis, age 48, found Saturday and Norman Wassille, age 65, found Friday. Next of kin have been notified.

Police ask anyone with any more information about any of the three unattended deaths to contact them. 

Correction: The days the bodies were found have been corrected.
