Neighbours tell Oak Bay News that a father and his two young daughters lived in the apartment.
The Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit has since taken over the investigation.
According to the Oak Bay Police Department, foul play is suspected but they say there’s no reason to believe the public is at risk.
“The scene is currently contained and area residents can expect this to continue throughout the night, and/or as long as is required by investigators,” read a statement from Deputy Chief Constable Ray Bernoties of the Oak Bay Police Department.
Authorities have said they will not be disclosing any further information about the people involved or the incident at this time.
