OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - Douglas County authorities have identified three people found dead of possible drug overdoses in a home north of Omaha earlier this week.

Deputies and medics found the victims dead Monday afternoon in the Ponca Hills neighborhood home north of Omaha after a person who went to the home for a child custody exchange found them and called 911, the Douglas County Sheriff's Office said in a news release.

The dead are identified as Michael Stewart, 24; Michael Hansen, 32; and Courtney McGuire, 24, all of Omaha. Medics declared them dead at the scene. Officials are investigating whether the three died of drug overdoses, as an initial investigation showed no signs of acute illness or foul play.

Law enforcement interviews with people who know the victims' revealed that all three were last seen alive at the home within eight hours of their bodies being found, investigators said.
