The bodies of 21-year-old Ray Ausbon and 19-year-old Zac Tigner were found Saturday morning at 817 Hillsborough St., Apt. 203, the home of Ausbon, according to Jim Sughrue, director of public affairs for Raleigh Police Department.
The police were responding to a 911 ‘suspicious persons’ call about two people near the 2nd floor fire escape landing at 9:26 a.m. Saturday morning, when they found the bodies, Sughrue said.
According to Sughrue, the cause of death remains unclear.
“The bodies were given to medical examiners for autopsy results. Toxicology results could take several weeks,” Sughrue said. “It’s inappropriate to speculate if it’s a drug overdose. There did not appear to be any signs of foul play.”
Ausbon was a senior in accounting. Tigner attended Gardner-Webb University. Both students graduated from Apex High School.
