A spokesman for the Civil Guard in Alicante said late last night: “The Civil Guard was informed about 3.30pm through the emergency 112 service about the discovery of the lifeless bodies of two people aged around 80.
Cops are now investigating after the bodies of the man and woman were found Thursday afternoon at 3.30pm at a home near the small town of San Fulgencio - a 45-minute drive south of Alicante.
The nearest urban area of San Fulgencio is around six miles inland from the Costa Blanca seaside town of Guardamar a short drive from Torrevieja.
TWO British pensioners in their 80s have been found dead at a Costa Blanca home after their bodies reportedly lay undiscovered for days.
Staff at a local council social services department are understood to have raised the alarm after they failed to answer their calls and spotted part of a body lying on the floor inside the property.
